Our veterans sometimes fall on hard times so we provide a 'Hand Up' not a 'Hand Out'. This one-time financial assistance is aimed at helping veterans and their family with a utility bill or financial need. Eligibility must be verified and approved before assistance is provided. 

VACP aims to raise awareness and provide services and programs to better improve assistance to veterans and their family. Eligibility must be verified and approved before assistance is provided.
