Welcome to the River City Veteran Resource Group
What was formerly recognized as the Tri-State Military Resource Network has been renamed to represent more accurately what we do – provide education, services, resources, and connections for Veterans and their families in and around southwest Indiana.
The RCVRG meets in person to provide information and further discussion on Veteran related topics including, but not limited to housing instability & homelessness, employment opportunities, accessing health & other benefits, navigating disability compensation, suicide prevention, accessing essential services (food, clothing, emergency shelter), registered service animals, mental health, substance use and treatment, survivor’s benefits, and much more!
If you are a Veteran or Veteran service provider and would like to be included in future meetings and correspondence, please email:

Location: University of Southern Indiana – Griffin Center
Topic: Making the Grade: Navigating and understanding service-connected education benefits can be extremely stressful when trying to determine how this aid interacts with regular financial assistance programs; what pays and what doesn’t pay. This special presentation by Jamie Bandy, USI Veteran Services will discuss how to understand and plan to use these programs to maximize a veteran’s eligibility.
