The purpose of the Veterans Assistance Committee is to provide financial assistance to veterans in a time of urgent need.

​

The Veteran Assistance Committee Chairperson (Lynn Behrens) will be assigned by the organization President, and approved by the Board of Directors, with the consent of the person being selected. The Committee Chairperson shall in turn, appoint one or two at large members to the committee.

The Committee does not provide cash to a veteran, but we will use a credit card to purchase, but not limited to the following: food, motel, gas, payment of utilities, car repair, and other emergency needs as identified and voted on by the Board of Directors; if the amount exceeds $500.00.

To gain assistance, a veteran can contact the committee by going on-line to the Branson Veterans of America website and completing the assistance request form then, calling  the phone number listed on the website. The veteran will need to have a copy of his/her DD-214 or a Medical ID card issued by the Veterans Administration Medical Clinic. A veteran can seek assistance more than once, and their assistance is limited to fifteen hundred dollars, life time.
