Helping local Veterans
North Shore VFW Post 4737 has been reaching out to retirement communities in the northern Chicago suburbs to learn more about where our Veterans live and how we can help support them.
If you live or work in a retirement community where Veterans reside, we'd love to hear from you on how we can help! Reach out to us at vfwpost4737@gmail.com with who you are and what you need!
Do you need help?
There is a new resource available to help veterans, family and friends who are suffering from PTSD and other invisible war wounds.
Road Home Program brings clinical innovation and research into the root causes underlying traumatic injury.
Please reach out to them for support!
