Reach Veterans Services

About us

In 2014, Reach Services saw the short comings of services offered to Veterans in the Wabash Valley, out of that need Reach Veterans Services was born.  Since that time, additional services have been established and extended to the community. That same year funds were raised, property was purchased, and 6 apartments were specifically built and furnished for aiding homeless and at risk Veterans in need. Reach Veteran Services also began operating a 2-bedroom Veterans shelter at our at 621 Poplar St location that has to date housed over 350 individuals while they received intense case management from our staff of on-site case managers.

Community Initiatives

​

Operation Vanguard

​

Annually REACH Veteran Services hosts and participates in Operation Vanguard, a homelessness challenge we host in November. This is our greatest outreach effort of the year, as we invite community members, veterans, politicians, and business people to come out and experience the harsh living conditions, and low morale that living out of doors in November bring. We find that individuals who have endured even a single night of the homelessness challenge have a very different opinion of homelessness when they leave Operation Vanguard.

 

 

Intecare SSVF

​

Since February 2017, Reach Veterans Services, and Intecare SSVF have been working together to create a “one stop shop” for veterans in our community. The combined resources of Intecare’s Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Grant along with Reach Services’ non-for profit flexibility; will allow us to swiftly and effectively meet our consumer’s needs on a broader scape.
