North Carolina is home to one of the largest military populations in the country. Veterans, active-duty service members, and their families are at the heart of many of our communities. As Democrats, we believe that supporting those who serve means ensuring access to the benefits and services they have earned.

Unfortunately, recent budget cuts at the federal level are putting that access at risk. Proposals to reduce funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs and programs like SNAP and Medicaid could make it harder for veterans and military families to get the care and support they need. These cuts threaten healthcare access, slow down claims processing, and reduce staff at critical service agencies. In North Carolina, tens of thousands of veterans rely on these programs.

Now more than ever, it is important to know what resources are available. The North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs Resource Guide is a valuable tool that connects service members, veterans, and their families to important programs and support.

From education and job training to housing, health services, and benefits navigation, this guide offers clear and helpful information. We encourage you to read it, share it, and use it to support those who have served.

North Carolina Democrats are urging veterans, service members, and their supporters to speak out. We are calling on Congress to restore VA funding and staff levels, so healthcare, mental health, food assistance, and more remain accessible and reliable.

Democrats are fighting so that no veteran waits too long for care, no family struggles without support, and no one who served is left behind. Will you help by sharing this guide and raising your voice for those who served us?
