The Military, Family, and Community Network (MFCNetwork) of VT

The MFCNetwork of VT exists to help veterans and their family members following deployment. Our goal is to increase awareness of:

  • Issues that service members and their families face after time spent in a war zone
  • Services and resources that exist to vets & their families in need

We want to make sure anyone who serves in the military can access the services that they need by assuring that community providers are aware of the issues and resources that exist. We want to increase the networking and communication across the region. See links below for helpful information!

 

We have 6 local taskforces across the state that are networking to assure this happens. The MFCNetwork is a collaboration of VT National Guard, VA, VT Agency of Human Services and many others!

COME to our May 1 conference “Bridging the Rivers" to learn more about helping our veterans. Sign up for our Listserv to be invited! (see below) or print the flyer (PDF)
