ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Veterans, service members and their families can now find local support and assistance through the new 828newsNOW Veterans Guide.
The online guide brings together resources serving veterans, military families and caregivers across Asheville and Western North Carolina. It is designed to provide a starting point for people navigating separate federal, state, county and nonprofit programs.
Resources are organized into six areas:
- Immediate help and crisis support
- Health care and mental health support
- Benefits and claims help
- Housing and emergency assistance
- Jobs, education and workforce resources
- Community organizations and ways to help
The guide includes information about the Veterans Crisis Line, the Charles George VA Medical Center and regional VA clinics, county Veterans Service Offices, homeless veteran programs, employment assistance, education benefits and community organizations.
Visitors can also find resources for caregivers, women veterans, military spouses and eligible family members.
Organizations that serve veterans, military families or caregivers may submit information to 828newsNOW for consideration. This will allow the guide to be updated as programs, services and contact information change.
The 828newsNOW Veterans Guide, sponsored by All American Tree Service, is available now.
