Veterans gave us freedom.
How can we ever thank them?

Serving Veterans, By Veterans

At the heart of the Erie County Veterans Service Commission is a team of five honorably discharged veterans who understand your service and sacrifice firsthand. We are the governing board for the Veterans Service Office, and our mission is simple: We’ve got your back.

Whether it’s securing temporary financial support during a tough time, or providing expert guidance in claiming your hard-earned government benefits (Federal, State, and local), we are here to ensure you, your spouse, your children, and the surviving spouses of our fallen heroes receive the full range of support they are entitled to.
