Veterans Service Commission of Stark County

Veterans Service Commission of Stark County For more than 130 years, the Veterans Service Commission of Stark County has been providing valuable assistance to veterans and their families in Canton, OH.

Founded in 1886, the VSC of Stark County offers veterans free assistance in obtaining benefits, financial support, and medical transportation. Their staff consists of veterans and their family members, so they’re personally familiar with the issues facing veterans today and can provide you with resources that meet your needs. The VSC’s Nationally and State Accredited County Veterans Service Office

rs advocate for you when filing for a wide range of Federal and State benefits. They provide personalized attention and individualized support to meet each family’s specific needs. The benefits they assist clients attain include, but aren’t limited to:

* Service-connected compensation

* Non-Service Connected Disability Pension

* Disability Pension

* Survivor’s pension

* VA Healthcare Enrollment

* Education

* Death and Burial Benefits

Financial need is one of the greatest obstacles that veterans face, and the VSC of Stark County offers a financial assistance program that provides temporary emergency funds for basic living expenses like rent, food, utilities, and clothing. Their Operation Homebound Program helps homeless veterans transition to permanent housing by subsidizing their rent and security deposit, per program guidelines. They can also find aid through this organization’s Dental Assistance Program, which aims to improve veterans’ health at a low cost. If you receive medical treatment at the VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic or Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, the VSC of Stark County will provide free transportation to and from your appointments. Their service allows you to focus on your health without worrying about extra transportation costs.
