The cold weather season is quickly approaching. Shelter from the elements is a basic human need - along with food, water, and a safe place to sleep. 

The Erie VAMC Homeless Care Team and the Erie Vet Center will join resources to engage unhoused Veterans, distribute cold weather clothing and care packages. 

In addition to sharing items to endure the winter cold, Erie VAMC and Vet Center staff will establish coordination of services to prevent ongoing homelessness and  PACT Act resources.

Jonathan Atkinson, Homeless Care Team Supervisor

Please note that Veterans are required to bring their VA ID card or DD214. 
*If you do not have an ID or discharge papers, staff will assist in retrieving verification at the event.
