Available Services for Afghanistan Vets
We understand that recent events in Afghanistan can trigger a variety of emotions for Veterans, service members, and their families based on their unique experience as it pertains to these events. Feeling distress is a normal reaction to negative events, especially ones that feel personal. It can be helpful to let yourself experience those feelings rather than try to avoid them, and the Martinsburg Vet Center is there to assist with processing through those feelings.
UPLIFT IN-POWERMENT

Suicide Prevention Month / September
Big life moments can be overwhelming. Veterans don’t have to go through the hard stuff alone, they can take a moment to reach out and ask for help.

Mission Beelieve
OUR MISSION Veterans suffering from PTSD, TBI and anxiety have turned to beekeeping for relief since the early 1900s. Our mission is to provide Veterans and First Responders a free beekeeping education through workshops and hands-on training. We teach them and their families a new trade, while providing a peaceful environment, and a way to reconnect with a community.
Feeding Frederick
FEEDING FREDERICK is a resource committed to combating food insecurity throughout Frederick County by bringing awareness to free food resources offered by a network of nonprofits and government providers.
