NCServes-Coastal
1 Year Anniversary in Progress Review & Holiday Luncheon
Local leaders, stakeholders, providers and Veterans gathered to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of NCServes-Coastal. The hard work, commitment and dedication of dozens of individuals and organizations has not only allowed the Coastal region to better serve 700 families, but has put Coastal Carolina on the map as a leader in Veteran service delivery. During this event, NCServes-Coastal shared the report on the Network's performance against its first year qualitative and quantitative goals, provided an overview of our Veteran Family demographics and service delivery data, as well as, provided recent updates and developments of the network and answered any questions or inquiries. This was not only a celebration of the progress the community has made but, it was an opportunity to discuss where the Network is headed and how partnerships and organizations can be a part of this exciting future for our Veterans, Service Members and families.
Who We Are

CAMP LEJEUNE GLOBE -- NCServes puts North Carolina in the lead for Veteran support across U.S.
While the military sets you up for success with a plethora of benefits, services and resources to address each individual’s needs, there are times when veterans, active duty service members and their families may encounter unique situations and are sometimes faced with navigating through an overwhelming amount of information and hundreds of resources; many of which have specific eligibility criteria. So where do you go to? Who do you call?
​
Thanks to NCServes, veterans and their families can have streamlined access to thousands of resources. The program cuts through the tedious process or weeding through prerequisites and hundreds of service providers, connecting veterans and their families directly with agencies or benefits specific to their needs and eligibility.

PARAGLIDE --- Organization Serves Local, State Veterans
NCServes is a state affiliate of AmericaServes, which was developed by the Institute for Veterans and Military Families.
The idea behind the creation of this network was to allow the community to bring collaboration to the next level and coordinate when seeking to help veterans. AmericaServes’ goal is to bring a more comprehensive and navigable set of resources to service members, veterans and their Families, according to their website. The resources available to service members, veterans and their Families are extensive and include 40,000 service providers. The sheer number and complexity of available resources has been cited by a Google study as the number one obstacle to veterans accessing the help and assistance they are qualified to receive.
