WHAT IS A VETERANS RESOURCE CENTER?
A friendly place where veterans, military and their families can go to get help
with the challenges they may be experiencing.
Take The Needs Assessment Survey
Vets, Military & Family Members
Join The VAMSA
Alliance Today
ABOUT US
The Queen Anne’s County Veteran and Military Support Alliance (VAMSA) was
launched in 2022 to address the unique needs of military, veterans, and their
families. VAMSA is working over the next year to develop and open a resource
center that offers the following:
1. Assisting with access to and use of government and private sector agencies
2. Education and Training
3. Access to Medical and Behavioral Health Care
4. Peer Support
5. Financial Counseling
6. Holistic Therapies and Healing Services (e.g., massage, aromatherapy, music
and art therapy, etc.)
7. Entrepreneurship, and
8. Resource Networks for Family Members and Caregivers.
VAMSA, in a strategic partnership with the nationally-recognized Veteran Health
and Wellness Foundation, will establish a national “center of excellence” to
which rural community members/leaders across the nation will travel to take part
in carefully designed workshops and presentations to educate and equip attendees
with tools to take better care of their community of veterans, military and
family members.
This national center of excellence will emphasize and respond to rural
communities in particular as such communities are often devoid of resources that
are more often available in urban centers. The number of Americans that want to
operationalize “thank you for your service” increases every day and the Center
for the Military and Veteran family will respond to this call to action and
facilitate solutions across the country.
Our military and veteran families have sacrificed so much and deserve to live in
communities that value them, invest in them, and understand the unique cultural,
environmental, and battleground experiences they share in service to their
country.
What sets this center apart is the unique commitment to helping all military
members, veterans that have served for any amount of time, military and veteran
family members, and caregivers regardless of whether they are related to a
wounded warrior or not. All services are free of charge and will be offered in
person; virtually, where possible; and in-home when needed (and feasible).
On-site services will be prioritized based on a needs assessment underway. This
survey asks our community of veterans, military, and their family members to
self-report the intensity of their needs across a full spectrum of services such
as legal, medical, financial, housing, etc.

RESOURCES
HIRE HEROES USA
Looking for a job or job training? Hire Heroes USA is the site for you. The site
offers a wide variety of training resources, job postings, and everything else
vets need to find a new career after leaving the service of their country.
No veteran should go without work after ETS, and Hire Heroes USA wants to make
sure that happens. Check them out if you find yourself lost on the path to a
rewarding career.
USAA
I’m guessing there are very few veterans who haven’t heard of USAA. If you’re
one of them you’re really missing out: USAA is an insurance, home loan, banking,
investing, and life planning powerhouse. Their services are only open to
veterans and their immediate families, and the rates are exceptionally good.
If you haven’t at least looked into USAA’s offerings you need to do so: It could
change your entire financial situation for the better!
VETERANS CRISIS LINE
Operated by the VA, the Veterans Crisis Line is there to help those who need it
the most. Those needing emergency help with PTSD, depression, suicidal thoughts,
and other life crises can call 1-800-273-8255 (option 1), text 838255, or chat
online through the site.
The Veterans Crisis Line also contains a number of resources for self-treatment
and information on how to recognize the signs of a crisis in loved ones. It’s an
excellent resource for those suffering and those who care for them.
VA.GOV
The VA: Love it or hate it it’s probably a part of your life now, and presumably
for the rest of it as well. If you’ve been frustrated by the outdated,
unfriendly, and downright labyrinthian layout of the VA’s website you aren’t
alone.
The VA has been trying hard to reinvent itself, and its new va.gov website is
the face of that reinvention. You may have heard of the now defunct vets.gov,
which was the VA’s first attempt at introducing a new, veteran-friendly website
to its online arsenal. It has since merged vets.gov with va.gov, so you won’t
have to worry about a bunch of redirects tossing you between websites.
The new va.gov is built not with administrators, vendors, and organizational
partners in mind, but with the veterans it serves front and center. You can find
all sorts of resources right on the VA homepage–medical information, education
benefits, disability, and military records are all right where you need them.
MILITARY.COM
This one-stop shop for all things military related delivers news, has
information on benefits, maintains its own veterans job board, and features tons
of other resources to make life as a veteran just a little bit easier.
If you’re looking for a web portal to be your connection to military
life Military.com is it. There isn’t a whole lot it doesn’t have, though other
sites listed here do have a narrower focus that makes them more useful in
certain circumstances.
