Since 1984, we have provided assistance to all discharged Veterans.

Vetwork provides veterans with transportation to access all necessary medical or basic-needs services. We have the ability to pick the Veteran up at their home and transport them to a myriad of locations throughout the state and return them to their front door.
This program has provided hundreds of transports to Ocean County Veterans in 2021 alone in order to provide them with the services and care they deserve.

Vetwork provides supportive services to assist veterans in obtaining permanent, affordable housing. Emergency shelter referral, homeless prevention, subsidized housing placement, and homeless Veterans services are some of Vetwork’s top priorities. There is no greater need for expedited services than when a Veteran’s shelter is not a guarantee. Vetwork bridges the gap to long-term solutions by assisting in the application process and providing temporary shelter and resources. Vetwork bridges the gap to long-term solutions by assisting in the application process and providing temporary shelter and resources. With the assistance of our partners, we ensure that every Veteran in our care will never be left on the streets.

Vetwork spends a good deal of our efforts on community outreach. Our programs are designed to provide information to the general public regarding our programs and Veteran services that Veterans may not be aware of.

We are happy to provide speakers who can address particular concerns. Our lead speaker is Brigadier General, Richard O’Meara, PhD.

The Bill Reeves Food Pantry is stocked with plenty of donated food and personal hygiene items for Veterans.
Veterans are more than welcome to come anytime to receive food for themselves and their families. Battling Veterans’ food insecurity is one of Vetwork’s top priorities. Ensuring a Veteran and their family is fed is crucial to Vetwork’s mission. We also provide gift cards to local supermarkets and convenience stores for perishable food items.

We assist Veterans who are either seeking employment or assistance in improving their employment status through multiple available avenues. These include, but are not limited to, computer/internet access with full access to Skill Success online training, military-to-civilian job skill translation, access to posted job boards, business clothing distribution, resume assistance, interview preparation, and transportation to and from job applications or interviews.

Assistance with service-related disability claims and entitlements is a unique challenge, yet is often necessary in providing Veterans financial stability. These claims frequently turn out to be a viable source of sustainable income. They often open the door for ongoing medical coverage and, in some cases, vocational rehab that is consistently overlooked.

Veterans like ourselves that have gone through this process can truly understand the uphill battle that it can be and may provide a unique perspective.

Vetwork provides several options for inpatient and outpatient facilities using available VA programs for both daily, extensive care and on an as-needed basis. Vetwork also works in conjunction with local Ocean County programs that are specifically tailored to meet and exceed the needs of a Veteran battling substance abuse or having mental health struggles. We are very proud to work with our partners in the community to work towards our common goal.

Veterans seeking treatment or that require psychological assessment or examination discernibly require immediate, professional assistance. These circumstances create a time-sensitive situation that is attended to with all due diligence and the utmost care. Vetwork also works in conjunction with local Ocean County programs such as the Ocean Mental Health Phoenix program, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Mental Health Diversion Program and Veterans Diversion Program. In addition, Vetwork will subsidize funding for these resources if necessary.

Vetwork assists veterans with money management and creating and maintaining a budget. This essential skill is conducted by Vetwork case managers on-site. Veterans adopt this budget into their lives, moving them closer to self-sufficiency. Vetwork also assists veterans when they experience IRS intervention.

Vetwork assists veterans with beginning the process of submitting a disability claim with the VA. Vetwork case managers also assist veterans with the acquisition of military records, typically with the DD214 or discharge paperwork. In addition to claims and military records, Vetwork also helps veterans complete applications for nursing homes.
