MVS Resource Line

Veterans can benefit from a wide range of government resources and a growing number of private and non-profit organizations that are eager to give back to veterans in recognition of their service. Numerous community organizations have developed programs to assist veterans with needs not addressed by their government benefits. Unfortunately, many veterans are either unaware of their full range of benefits and choices or don’t know how to access them. Easterseals Redwood Military & Veteran Services MVS Resource Line bridges that disconnect in the Tri-state by connecting veterans with contacts at organizations that will meet their needs.

The MVS Resource Line responds to requests from veterans or their families seeking assistance. Examples include Veteran Benefits Information, Caregiver resources, Financial assistance resources, Healthcare options, and more.

Veterans and their families who request information or emergency assistance from the MVS Resource Line will be presented with the public, private, and not-for-profit resources most suited to their needs, allowing them to focus their time on the most viable options.
