For Veterans and Their Families
Veterans are the heroes of our nation. We want to make it easy to find the benefits that you and your family so deserve.
Below is information on resources available to veterans, including local organizations that provide services such as the Weston YMCA Family Center and Broward County.
Florida Veterans Coalition
https://floridaveterans.org/phones/
a program available to our Florida Veteran community that provides a free smartphone and two years of unlimited talk, text, and data service. The only limitations are that they must be a Florida Veteran, that each eligible Veteran may have one phone, and that quantities are limited.
This initiative is designed to improve connectivity and access to important resources for veterans, regardless of their current situation. Whether someone is experiencing hardship or is otherwise employed and doing well, but could benefit from the program.
This program is funded by a grant expected to renew every 2 years, ensuring continued access to these services for eligible veterans. There is no cost to the veteran, no contract to sign, no credit card required, and no financial obligation.
