COVID-19 - Support for Veterans


During these uncertain times due to the impact of COVID-19, our community has a growing population of veterans who find themselves lacking food, utility payments and other essential resources or services.  The Veterans Council continues to serve veterans and their families in our community through our Upward American Veterans program  thanks to generous funding through the COVID-19 Community Response Fund. If you are a veteran or know of a veteran in Indian River County who needs help please contact the Veterans Council of Indian River County at (772) 410-5820.

If you would like to support our efforts to help local veterans in need, please make a donation to the COVID-19 emergency fund, please click here: https://bit.ly/VCIRC-COVID-19

THANK YOU!

Shout out to the Sebastian Honor Guard


The Veterans Council of IRC and the Sebastian Honor Guard recently attended the funeral of a fallen soldier and gave military honors for the departed.  The Sebastian Honor Guard members are also members of the local American Legion & VFW Posts. They provide a final military ceremony for family members of US Veterans.  They have provided Color Guard services for the Veterans Council and community events such as Veterans Day and Memorial Day ceremonies and the annual Veterans Family Picnic to name a few. We are so grateful for the Sebastian Honor Guard and want them to know how much we appreciate them. Find out more on the Sebastian Honor Guard Facebook Page

Veterans Council Transportation Buses get a makeover.

The Veterans Council of IRC recently upgraded our Transportation Program buses and they have received a make over with new identifying wraps! These new buses will allow us to transport our veterans who use wheelchairs much easier and in comfort.  The buses are easier to maneuver in smaller parking lots. Our Transportation Program is widely used by local veterans for transport to their local medical appointments as well as to their appointments to the VA hospital in West Palm Beach. As always, we are incredibly thankful to our community for their support of the Veterans Council of IRC.
