VETERANS EMERGENCY FUND

Please fill out the digital form below for quicker assistance when applying for Emergency Assistance or Operation Dental Care. We also offer a paper PDF application. If you need help with the application, we can help you over the phone or at our office with an appointment.

  • This program serves veterans and their immediate family (spouse, un-remarried surviving spouse, child, or stepchild) who need emergency financial assistance in Outagamie, Winnebago, Calumet, Waupaca, and other nearby counties in Wisconsin by exception.

  • We partner with Tri-County Dental to provide a dental home for eligible veterans and their dependents with dental care such as cleanings, exams, x-rays, fillings, and extractions.

    Must live in Calumet, Outagamie or Winnebago County.

    Income must not exceed 400% of the federal poverty level.

    Must not be covered by any private dental insurance (state insurance is okay).

Proper documentation must be provided

  • A copy of a DD214 showing discharged under conditions other than dishonorable and at least one day of Active Duty besides for training. Even if we cannot provide direct financial assistance to an applicant, we help connect all veterans who apply to other resources.

  • Copies of bills for consideration.

  • We may recognize a person as a Veteran, who served the United States in a military capacity and were in combat or imminent threat of combat by two-thirds vote of the council as prescribed in our By-Laws. (Example: members of the Hmong community who served the United States in a military capacity in Vietnam or interpreters in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.)

  • The Veterans Emergency Fund may provide funding for housing, utility payments, clothing, food, transportation, and other high-priority needs.  Assistance is paid directly to creditors.
