WINCHESTER, VA — November 10, 2026 — The Northern Shenandoah Valley Community Veterans Engagement Board (NSV CVEB), working alongside DAV Chapter 9, VFW Post 2123, and AMVETS Post 18, is launching a $3.5 million capital campaign this Veterans Day, November 11, 2026 to establish a permanent Veterans Resource Center serving Veterans, transitioning service members, and those who support them throughout the Northern Shenandoah Valley.
The proposed Center will provide a centralized location where Veterans can access essential services, connect with fellow Veterans, and engage with community organizations committed to their well-being.
One location. Countless resources. A community united in serving those who served.
The Northern Shenandoah Valley is home to numerous Veterans Service Organizations, nonprofit partners, government agencies, and community members dedicated to supporting Veterans. However, these resources are often spread across multiple locations, making it difficult for Veterans and their families to identify and access available assistance.
Ashley Moslak, Chair of the NSV CVEB says “For years, we have worked successfully to strengthen relationships and collaboration among these organizations, identify gaps in services, and improve connections between Veterans and community resources. The proposed Veterans Resource Center represents the next step in our mission.”
Built around a philosophy of No Wrong Door, the Veterans Resource Center will offer a welcoming environment where individuals seeking assistance can be connected to the appropriate organizations and services.
The Center is envisioned to include:
· Dedicated office space for Veterans Service Organizations and community resource providers.
· Coordinated access to VA benefits assistance, employment services, housing resources, mental health support, and emergency relief.
· Shared meeting and training spaces for educational programs, workshops, and support groups.
· Gathering spaces that encourage camaraderie, peer support, and social connection.
· Opportunities for volunteerism, community engagement, and collaboration across generations of Veterans.
The Veterans Resource Center will not be a residential facility. Its purpose is to bring people, organizations, and services together in a permanent, accessible community setting.
NSV CVEB is working together with DAV Chapter 9, VFW Post 2123, and AMVETS Post 18 to establish the foundation for the Center.
The initiative builds upon years of collaboration among local Veterans organizations, community service providers, and other stakeholders.
The Center is intended to welcome additional organizations and partners, creating opportunities for more coordinated services, stronger referrals, and improved access to community resources.
The capital campaign seeks to raise $3.5 million to secure a permanent facility and prepare it to serve the region.
Campaign funding is intended to support property acquisition, renovations, accessibility improvements, furnishings, initial staffing and programming, and long-term sustainability.
Individuals, businesses, foundations, and community organizations are invited to participate in helping establish this regional resource.
Contributions of all sizes will support the effort to create a permanent home for Veterans services and community engagement.

Together, we can create more than a building. We can create a place where Veterans find resources, build connections, and know they belong.
One location. One community. No Wrong Door.
