"To fulfill President Lincoln’s promise to care for those who have served in our nation’s military and for their families, caregivers, and survivors.”
The Veterans Assistance Commission of Cook County is the only department in Cook County that provides emergency and financial assistance for essential needs such as food, shelter, and utilities specifically to Cook County Veterans and their families. We operate independently and are not affiliated with the Veterans Administration (VA) nor the Cook County VA (CCVA) and are funded by Cook County to support local Veterans in need.
