Veterans need advocates to help them obtain essential documents, such as a DD-214, state IDs, and assistance with VA benefits, as well as support in applying for SSI/SSDI and other services that can be significant obstacles. If you excel in paperwork, organization, and communication, Veterans’ Rock would like you to be part of the ROCK solid support we offer to our veterans in need.  You can use our computers, files, phones, office supplies, and our copy/scanning machines. Let us know if you have a couple of hours a week to tackle some of the challenging issues that prevent some of our veterans from being self-sufficient and financially independent. Please give us a call if you're willing to assist in this way. 

Volunteer Your Auto Mechanic Services

Veterans' Rock needs help from auto mechanics in our community to assist with minor car repairs for our veterans. We received a grant from AARP for transportation needs, and now we need mechanics willing to do the work. Next to shelter and food, transportation, including car repair, is greatly needed. Give us a call if you can help, 307-514-0035.
