"Each month, the assistance with food makes an immense difference for my family. It ensures that we have enough to get through the month without worrying about going hungry. Their support means we can focus on other essential needs, knowing that there’s a meal on the table, bringing us comfort and relief during challenging times."
M.B., Veteran

SERVICES & PROGRAMS

Here are some of our Services and programs we offer:

  • VABC distributes 20,000 pounds of food per month to over 500 veterans and their families. Lunch is prepared and served daily while a monthly food pantry operates at capacity. VABC maintains a rescue food room to help relieve urgent nutritional deficits. 
  • VABC operates a clothing center to distribute essential, quality clothing and shoes. The clothing center maintains a store-like environment to ensure a dignified experience and rotates its inventory seasonally. 
  • Recognized statewide for its effectiveness, the SHEROES program honors and engages women veterans in fellowship including workshops, activities and speaking programs. 
  • Weekly programs include Peer Support Groups and Coffee Socials to promote comaraderie and friendship for veterans combatting isolation and mental health challenges.
  • Physical and mental wellness programs include painting, kayaking, hiking, biking, and stress management sessions. Rhythms of Service is a music therapy program.

VABC actively solicits recommendations from veterans to develop new services and activities that improve the quality of life of veterans.

DEMAND ON THE RISE

VABC rigorously collects, analyzes and reports service data. To facilitate this best practice, veterans sign in through a customized computer kiosk to select the services to receive on that day. Captured information is readily available for internal assessment and reporting. This system was installed in July 2023 with funding from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Veterans Services.

Due to rising demand, VABC operates at capacity with consistent overcrowding within its current facilities. This has created severe operational constraints and an evident need for a larger facility to fulfill this vital mission.
