Here's a little more about Adam!

"I did 9 years in the Army including a 12-month stint in Baghdad on the BIAP complex.  I have a wife, a son who is a sophomore at Kimberly High School, a stepson who is a freshman at FVTC in the Diesel Mechanic Program, and a stepdaughter who is a Junior at St. Norbert in the Art Education Program.  Also, I have two dogs Bailey and Bear.  My goal by doing this is to help raise money for local veterans who could use a hand" (Adam Neuman).

2023 Impact Report

An Update From Our Leadership.

This years impact report highlights the incredible efforts of our donors and team working together. Despite operating with a skeleton crew for much of the year, our volunteers, employees, and board members united to serve a record number of veterans and their families in the Greater Fox Valley.

We broke records for the third consecutive year, assisting 518 veterans and distributing $207,663.96 in financial aid. Inflation, particularly in housing, food, and transportation costs, drove the increased need for support.

There are local veteran families in need. Can you help?

This year, we've seen a surge in calls, emails, applications, and the need for financial assistance. We have already financially assisted and or connected over 400 local veteran families to additional resources and opportunities! With all of December still left.

This assistance is critical, and the impact is often invisible to our community. Yet, it prevents homelessness, reduces hopelessness, increases well-being, and has a generational impact on veterans, their families, and our community. This assistance helps provide timely HOPE.

Veterans Day Tribute | "Chevron to Heart"

“Chevron to Heart”

Fox Valley Veterans Council Veteran's Day Tribute.

November 2, 2023 Media Announcement,

The Fox Valley Veterans Council (FVVC) is holding their Veterans Day Tribute inside of the Outagamie County Court House in front of the Veterans Memorial at 410 S. Walnut Street at 11:00AM on Saturday, November 11th at 11am.

The theme is “Chevron to Heart” and the event will focus on the meaning of the Wound Chevron and the Purple Heart. A special presentation of the Purple Heart will be made to the family of George C. Arts who served in WWI, was severely wounded, came home to make a life but eventually succumbed to his injuries and died at the young age of 35. George C. Arts never received the Purple Heart. Through the efforts of the Fox Valley Veterans Council and Congressman Gallagher’s offices the family will be presented the decoration. Maj Eric VanHout, Battalion Officer with the 2-127th Infantry, Appleton Army National Guard, will join in the award. It is noted that WWI Vet George Arts hails from the Red Arrow, 32nd Division which the 2-127th hails from as well.

Highlights of George’s service, music from Joseph Scala and also from the Fox Valleyaires, and a poem read by Roy Rogers, a member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, will be part of this event. The Patriot Guard, Scarlet Guard, and American Legion Post 38 will provide honoring elements. On behalf of FVVC President Timothy J. Cody and all of our Veterans Service Organizations we are asking for our Local Media to let us know you will help us share this event with the community and send a reply indicating your ability to do so to treasurer@foxvalleyveterans.org or phone 920-757-6142 with a message.
