Sonoma County Vet Connect, Inc.

Prior Years

For the prior years of 2018, 2019, and 2020 we have been able to provide $104,000 in assistance to Sonoma County Veterans thanks to you, our supporters. Most of this went to keeping Veterans in their homes and keeping the lights and power turned on for them

Vet Connect wants to put out a BIG THANK YOU to both the local Daughters of the American Revolution for donation a bunch of knitted Afghans and Hats and Big O Tires who every year at this time performs a Jacket Drive for us.

We also wish to thank the Bethlehem Foundation who awarded us with a very generous grant in our work to assist Veterans

James Casey and Richard Jones talks to the local paper on how Vet Connect wants to resume services to Sonoma County Vetersns.

For the November Board Meeting, all the board members were together via ZOOM

September and we are still awaiting the County allowing us to resume our regular sessions inside the Veterans Memorian Building. We do continue assisting Veterans in need and still hold monthly Board meetings via ZOOM!

June 2nd and we are still not able to get back into the Veteran's Building so we had our monthly Board Meeting via ZOOM!

June and we are still on lockdown due to the Coronavirus, however President Richard Jones appeared in the local paper with an atricle on Vets and PTSD. You can read about it by clicking HERE

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

Due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus, especially in that it seems to target older people and those with underlying health conditions, which is a good percentage of most of us; the normally scheduled Vet Connect Tuesday Clinics will be suspended for the remainder of the month of March.

We will be there for March 10th but attendance will be voluntary on the part of our providers.

If you have an emergency and require our services, call us at 707-755-1417 and we will arrange to address your needs.

Keep watching this web site for news of when we go back to regular operations.

Toward the end of February we recieved a check for $400 from the Santa Rosa High School Woodworking students for our share of the event we sponsored with them back in November of 2019

In February The Ducky Booth started back up at the Farmers Market

On Super Bowl Sunday Marlene Hewitt who coordinates our front welcome area was struck by a drunk driver who t-boned her on her drivers side. The crash shattered her side and they had to use the jaws of life to extract her from her vehicle.

She spent a week in intensive care at Memorial Hospital and is currently at Empress Rehabilitation Center in Petaluma

Call her first if you want to visit or send her your get well wishes at marlenehewitt57@gmail.com

In partnership with the Roseland Lion's Club who are donating a room for Richard to engage with Veterans on days other than our Tuesday Clinics, we sponsored a joint dinner on January 25th.
