Programs
Honoring Active Service Members, Veterans and their Widows.
Serving Area Military is a group of veteran supporters that have come together to be the conduit of the community's love for our veterans. We utilize the community to discover needs and find solutions.
We have been a volunteer led organization that looks to provide solutions instead of handouts.
Veterans' Choice Pantry
Veterans' Choice Pantry
Our commissary provides more than 500 military and veteran families with basic food needs every month. The majority of our clients utilize our services less than 3 times a year. It is an unforeseen bill or illness that leads to a temporary need. We strive to ensure no veteran goes hungry.
Lodging Kits
Lodging Kits
No veteran should ever go homeless, but when it occurs, we are there to help them with a fresh start. From new linens to dishes, the lodging kit provides those transitioning from homelessness to housing with almost everything they need to establish a home.
Veteran Resources
Veteran Resources
It is our goal to connect veterans with the resources they have earned. From the annual Veterans' Resource Fair to educational events, we are connecting veterans with subject matter experts that can assist our veteran community.
Veteran Advocate

"Free-Style" Friday is hosted on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month from Noon - 2 p.m. at the SAM Center VRC. This is as an open session for current guitar students, enthusiasts or dabblers to come socialize while you goof-off, practice or go over whatever you may want to work on in a "non-instructor" environment. If your schedule permits, please feel free to come and jam with us.
Thanksgiving

Our generous community comes together to provide Thanksgiving feasts for our military and veteran families in need. We hope these feasts allow our veterans to invite others over for this holiday.
Christmas

Christmas is about sharing Christ's love with one another. For Christmas, we allow our military and veteran families to select the toys their children desire. It's about them being able to choose and provide that special Christmas for their family.
