One Stop Shop

for local Veterans

I am pleased to announce the launch 16th Ward Veteran Hours, a monthly resource hub for Veterans starting Monday, April 6, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the 16th Ward Service Office.

This initiative aims to connect veterans with essential services, offering support in areas such as housing, financial assistance, VA disability claims, legal referrals, employment resources, and holistic services.

By providing personalized, in-person support in a welcoming environment, Veteran Hours seeks to help veterans navigate complex systems and access multiple services in one visit.

Volunteer Opportunities

Veterans contribute a distinctive level of discipline, leadership, and commitment to service that enhances the operations of the 16th Ward Service Office. Their dedication to continued service beyond their military tenure is both inspiring and impactful, enabling us to better connect with residents and address community needs with care and precision.

Alderman Stephanie D. Coleman takes pride in uplifting and supporting veterans who choose to volunteer, acknowledging that their ongoing commitment not only honors their legacy but also plays a crucial role in fostering a stronger, more interconnected community within the 16th Ward.
