Veterans Resource Directory of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area Veterans Program VETERANS RESOURCE DIRECTORY FOREWORD This Veterans Resource Directory was first published in 1987 to assist Veterans and their families in finding necessary information and referral sources. Through the years we have updated and expanded the information in this directory. We offer you the best resource information available in response to community need relating to Veterans and human services professionals. The Veterans Resource Directory has been very well received, and we would like to thank all those people who have helped us update and print this directory. Our directory has been replicated in many other states and is a well- worn resource for many St. Louis area Veteran advocates. We are constantly striving to provide new information and to keep up with the daunting task of updating hundreds of telephone numbers and addresses in an ever-changing world. This directory is a product of the Saint Louis County Office of Family and Community Services, County Veterans Program. As a division of the Saint Louis County Department of Human Services, the Office of Family and Community Services are comprised of three components: County Older Resident Programs, County Veterans Program, and County Youth Programs. Though these programs all have services that target specific populations, they also work in concert with other programs to provide services for those St. Louis County residents who may find themselves "falling through the cracks" of other organizations. Though developed for Veterans this directory is designed to offer resources to all of our customers. We will continue to provide you with quality information and referral services through the publication of this Veterans Resource Directory.
