Due to economic impacts, more veterans are needing financial assistance and organizations throughout Texas are stepping in to help.
In this FOX 7 Care Force, tougher economic times are resulting in many veteran service organizations focusing more on financial assistance for their clients.joins FOX 7's Mike Warren to discuss how the organization is helping veterans financially.We've done financial assistance for years it's one of our objectives but what we've seen after COVID is more phone calls for help with rent, groceries, gas.
So that's one example where the vet knew to call the county service officer and we are on speed dial with Travis, Williamson and Bastrop. Those county veteran service officers know to call us and we connect with the veteran.During COVID it was slow because there were so many other resources but on average a few a month and we have rules and things that we look at when we give financial assistance, but I'd say between 20-30 a year.
