MISSION

Cook County Veterans Assistance Commission (VACCC) 

Mission Statement

 

The mission of the Cook County Veterans Assistance Commission (VACCC) is to honor and empower the Veterans of Cook County by providing compassionate, professional, and effective advocacy for the benefits and services they have earned through their military service.


We are dedicated to ensuring that every Veteran, surviving spouse, and family member has equitable access to federal, state, and local resources, including compensation, education, health care, housing, and emergency assistance.


Through outreach, education, and collaboration with community partners, VACCC strives to bridge gaps in awareness and accessibility, reaching underserved and at-risk Veteran populations across all neighborhoods of Cook County.


 

Guided by integrity, respect, and accountability, we stand as a trusted resource for Veterans, committed to their well-being, dignity, and successful reintegration into civilian life.
