Peer Support

Emergency Veteran Assistance

Emergency Veteran Assistance

  The Veterans Association Food Bank is a place for Veterans to gather. Having a place to get together, to have a coffee and visit, has had an extremely positive impact on our Veteran Community. Having empathetic comrades to speak to, has opened many doors of healing.

Emergency Veteran Assistance

Our priority is to support Veterans and provide assistance in any situation that may arise. Keeping Veterans in their homes is the most effective way to support them through challenging times. We offer Emergency Veteran Assistance when funds are needed to for basic housing needs. All cases are reviewed by case workers and are subject to approval. 

Intake Support

VA Claims & Medical Referrals

Case workers are responsible for all initial intake assessments. The individual circumstances and needs of each Veteran is identified, then solutions are determined to best support them. Veterans Helping Veterans is an initiative that provides peer support post-intake assessment. 


VA Claims & Medical Referrals

VA Claims & Medical Referrals

  Navigating through piles of paperwork and not knowing the available services and support are common challenges for Veterans. We ensure that all Veterans who seek our help have properly filed with Veterans Affairs Canada. We assist them with any claims and support them through the lengthy process.

We offer workshops and training programs in partnership with other organizations.
