Veterans in the Capay Valley and surrounding communities have a new resource in times of need. VFW Post 7143 has launched its Veterans Assistance Program, designed to provide critical support and guidance to local veterans and their families.
Serving Madison, Esparto, and the greater Capay Valley since 1946, VFW Post 7143 is expanding its outreach with a renewed commitment to ensuring no veteran faces hardship alone. The program now extends throughout Yolo County, offering a range of services to address both immediate and long-term needs.
The program provides help in several key areas, including emergency financial assistance, guidance with VA benefits and referrals, and support for food and other basic necessities. Veterans can also receive help with transportation, navigating claims and paperwork, and connecting with community resources. The program also fosters camaraderie through a strong local support network, reinforcing the sense of community among those who have served.
Eligibility includes honorably discharged veterans who can provide proof of service, active-duty service members experiencing hardship, and surviving spouses and eligible dependents.
Veterans or family members seeking assistance can contact VFW Post 7143 at 530-650-3506 or post7143assistance@gmail.com.
