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:
Joel Matherly – jsmatherly@usi.edu
If you have an upcoming event for Veterans or a flyer to promote your services, please send it via email to:
Kim Armstrong – kim.armstrong@echohousing.org
Let’s connect to serve those who have served for us!
We invite you to scroll through the flyers below to see what is happening in our community.
