Mt. Carmel is dedicated to providing support to the military and veteran community. “In a non-profit, having fiscal support to run the programs is important. We need to keep the lights on. What we do isn’t for free. There are people that deliver the services, ” said Mt. Carmel Executive Director Bob McLaughlin. “Every dollar that comes into Mt. Carmel, two go back out into the community. All of the time, talent, treasure, volunteer, resource, and fiscal support is all critical to making this happen.”
Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center provides transition and employment assistance, behavioral health and wellness, supportive services, connection to community resources, and safe event space for veterans, military members and their families. The center focuses on transitions, employment opportunities, health, wellness and family services.
