OUR STORY

Veterans Help Net is a volunteer Veteran Support Organization that started in the Northwest to serve Veterans in Eastern Washington and North Idaho. It was conceived by a small group that believed that there were a lot of Veterans out there that were not aware of the benefits and help that was available to them because they served. The group came up with an awareness marketing idea that centered around two focused messages.

1. Hey Vets! “Did you know?”: a series of short articles that feature little known or forgotten benefits that are available to veterans or their families. For example: “Did you know” that a spouse that provides care giving services for a disabled vet can be paid for providing that service, above and beyond the veteran’s pension or disability pay?
2. Veteran Stories: a series of stories about veterans that found a benefit that provided help or care for them or their family members. They can tell about how their life is better because of this benefit and who helped them find and get help. We would tell these stories because they were true and inspiring but also so that we can ask the question…“Does this sound like someone you know?” Follow this link at https://veteranshelpnet.com/resource-directory/ to locate a Veteran Service Officer and see if you, your family member, or friend can receive similar help.

With these two focused messages, we intend to give hope and help to many veterans that have earned the benefits but may not know where or how to find the help.

Some of our current projects are the ”VETERANS PRESS” a cooperative project with the CDA/Post Falls Press. We also have the “VETERANS CHRONICLE” a Project with the Spokesman Review. Each of these are published monthly and features Veteran Stories, “Did You Know” articles as well as special features highlighting Veteran service organizations and other veteran relevant stories, events and resources.
