Free military veteran peer support groups are being held in the Brazos Valley, and they are open to all military members, veterans, and family members.  Military veteran peer support groups are designed to help fill the gap in services for veterans.  They provide a safe environment for veterans and family members to talk to each other about issues specific to the military community and transitioning back to civilian life.  Each group is facilitated by a peer who was trained by Bring Everyone in the Zone.  The facilitators are volunteers, and they function to keep the groups on topic and make sure it remains a safe environment for everyone.  Topics vary to address the needs of those participating in the groups, and everything discussed is confidential.  The groups are a community based service, and there is no affiliation with the VA, the military, or any medical entity.  Childcare is provided for both of the Sunday meetings and can be arranged for the Monday meetings if needed.  Point of contact is Heather Huhnke, 979-200-1715,  heather@brazosvalleyveterans.com.  

 Date and Time: 1st Monday of every month OIF/OEF Peer Support Group open to anyone who served in Iraq or Afghanistan from 8-9 pm                               

2nd Monday of every month All Veterans Peer Support Group open to anyone who served in the military from 8-9 pm

Open four days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 9:00-11:30 AM) it is not unusual to see clients lining up outside, well before the doors open.  The Salvation Army provides food boxes containing non-perishable food items, bread and meat to an average of 150 people each week.  Staff and volunteers re-stock every Tuesday, with 9,000-11,000 pounds of supplies delivered weekly by the Brazos Valley Food Bank.  Baby items including diapers, pull-ups and formula are always in demand as are hygiene products such as razors, toothpaste and toothbrushes.  Lt. Joe Contreras, Salvation Army Officer in Bryan College Station, is ready to step-up to the challenge of the increased demand from the community. He said, “The Salvation Army will continue to serve as many people as possible in Brazos County. In addition to the Food Pantry we are also open each afternoon, from 12:00 Noon until 4:00 PM as a Cooling Station, providing water and a snack to people seeking shelter from the sweltering heat.”  

The Salvation Army, located at 2506 Cavitt Ave, is accepting donations of canned goods, baby items and hygiene products. For more information about the services at The Salvation Army please call (979) 361-0618.
