Onsite Resources

Donate!

Over the past 32 years, VMC has established a wide range of community partnerships and increased our efforts to provide the most current and sought after resources for Veterans within our agency. Many of the resources and programs most valuable to a Veteran can be found right on site, either at the VMC headquarters in Old City Philadelphia or at Operating Base Cecilia in Coatesville.

On-site Resources at Operating Base Cecilia in Coatesville

Large military units establish Operating Bases – Forward Operating Bases, Contingency Operating Bases, etc. – to adjust to a mission in a particular location. Operating Base Cecilia was established to meet the needs of Veteran families in the Chester, Montgomery and Delaware County areas. In association with Catholic Social Services, VMC manages the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program for these counties, and also provides Veterans with access to additional services such as employment readiness, training and placement right on site. Planned future programs include additional training programs and a day drop-in center, as well as options to take services to other locations within the three-county area.
