Operation: Resource Ready
Bringing trusted veteran resources directly to communities across Indiana
Operation: Resource Ready connects veterans, service members, dependents, survivors, and families with the information, benefits assistance, and local resources they need.
​
Through community-based educational workshops, attendees can learn about available benefits, meet accredited Veteran Service Officers, connect with trusted organizations, and identify the next steps for themselves or their families.
KNOW YOUR BENEFITS. FIND YOUR RESOURCES.
TAKE THE NEXT STEP.
Finding the right veteran resources can feel overwhelming. Information is often spread across multiple organizations, eligibility requirements can be difficult to understand, and many veterans and families simply do not know where to begin.
​
Operation: Resource Ready brings trusted professionals and community partners together in one accessible location. Each workshop is designed to provide useful information, answer questions, and help attendees make meaningful connections with organizations prepared to assist them.
​
Whether you recently left military service, have been a veteran for decades, are currently serving, or are supporting a veteran in your family, Operation: Resource Ready is here to help you better understand the resources available to you.
