Do you know a veteran, or even yourself, that has had a tough return to
civilian life, that has maybe been affected by hurdles they/you can’t seem
to overcome? At the Montachusett Veterans Outreach Center, we understand the
hardships and sacrifices veterans have made for their country, your country,
and the setbacks that often accompany them. For more than 25 years, we’ve
been offering a full range of services for our veterans from counseling to
food assistance to transitional housing and transportation. Life is often
harder for a veteran than many civilians can fathom and we’re here to help
every step of the way.

and assistance they need to recover their bearings and to restore a sense of
dignity and self-sufficiency. If you find your path has become too steep,
treacherous, or unfamiliar, we’ll provide you with the tools to continue and
succeed in any community environment.
