Supporting the Families Behind the Uniform
Military service affects the entire family. Spouses, children, and loved ones carry their own burdens — and deserve their own support. The Eight Fifty Committee extends its services to the families of veterans, ensuring they have access to the resources they need.
What We Offer Families
- Benefits Navigation for Surviving Spouses — Navigating VA survivor benefits, DIC, and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation
- Childcare Resources — Connecting families to local childcare programs and assistance
- Employment Support for Military Spouses — Job placement assistance and career counseling referrals
- Family Counseling Referrals — Connecting families to licensed counselors who understand military family dynamics
- Financial Literacy — Budgeting assistance and financial planning resources
Connection to Our Programs
All family services connect to our Vetexpress program, which provides comprehensive benefits navigation and support coordination.
"How can we help your veteran?" — That's the question we ask every family member who reaches out. Sometimes the best way to help a veteran is to start with the people they love.
