Help is available for veterans!
Some veterans think they don’t deserve help. They don’t think their service to their country qualifies them for help. Some of them don’t look for help because they think that other veterans are “more deserving.”
We want to help any veteran who needs a hand up. Veterans can call 1-509-828-2449 to find out if they qualify
Did you know?
Veterans with a dishonorable discharge can work with SSVF to try to change their discharge type if they feel they were discharged with the wrong status.
