Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center’s purpose remains unwavering: Ensure those who are serving, those who have served, and their families are given the resources they need to thrive.
The need is great. The resolve to support the many heroes in our communities is greater.
Community support and partnerships today power programs that make a difference for a lifetime: from health and wellness to employment and transition assistance, meeting life’s most basic needs, and much more.
"The Mt Carmel support team has been beyond amazing; They have guided me, provided resources and information, and have - above all - listened patiently. I feel genuinely cared for and supported. For the first time in over a year, I genuinely feel hopeful that this will actually be a real turning point for me."
"There are absolutely no words that could fully describe how grateful I am to be taken in as an "adopted family member" by Mt. Carmel. My goal is to prove that I'm worth the investment; I'll get that job that's waiting for me, get my finances in good standing, and pour back into this program and this community."
"This program and my case workers stepped in during an extremely dire time for me and my family. Every single one of my concerns were addressed in an extremely timely manner, and the weight that has been lifted off of my shoulders is immense. I will, without a doubt, be referring this program to all other combat vets that I am able to. I cannot be happier with how streamlined the process was, and how effective all the communication was. At no time did I ever feel like I was doing anything on my own. Truly thankful for this program and my case worker."
To provide best practices for our military, veterans, and their families through accessible programs, integrated resources, and collaborative partnerships that empower lives and strengthen our community.
In 2014, a Marine Corps Veteran and prominent Colorado Springs businessman envisioned creating a nonprofit organization to serve the Pikes Peak region's vast military and veteran populations, providing needed services not met by any other military, governmental or private agency. It was determined early on that, while many services exist for veterans and active-duty military throughout the community, navigating the system to obtain needed services is a significant challenge for and hinders access to these services. None of these organizations offered a full range of services in one location.
With this realization, the vision for Mt. Carmel was born. With the recruitment of a retired U.S. Army Colonel and former Ft. Carson Garrison Commander as the first Chief Operating Officer, and with a large facility and startup seed funding in hand, Mt. Carmel hired a mostly veteran staff and began operations March 1, 2016.
Community support paired with hundreds of partners and volunteers make it possible to meet our local heroes where they are with what they need to thrive.
