The Florida Veterans Multi-Purpose Center (VMPC) is unique. It was started by Veterans in 1989 out of a single desire to help and benefit all Veterans and their families in Florida.

Since the granting of its IRS 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt status in 1991, the Center has been involved in a broad base of Veteran services. The Center works closely with the VA and other government agencies as well as the public and private sectors to provide quality services and benefits to Veterans throughout Florida.

We are proud that we are the only Veterans organization in Florida with an IRS 501(c)(3) status that:

• Provides professional referral and outreach services to Veterans utilizing public, private, and government organizations.
   

• Provides Equine Assisted Therapy for veterans suffering from PTSD.
   

• Provides weekend therapy retreats for veterans.
   

• Partnerships with other non-profits for the sole purpose of providing transitional housing for homeless veterans.
   

• Provides a substance abuse and recovery program for Veterans.
   

• Doesn't have special eligibility requirements for veterans to receive services.

Our position is to work towards making a change in the life of veterans who have suffered from the trauma of war or any other duty-related issue. Our goal is to provide veterans of all ranks, backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses with the services they need and deserve.

We recognize that substance abuse and alcoholism is alarmingly prevalent among veterans. For this reason we dedicate a good portion of our programs and projects to those suffering from the trauma of war (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD) and those who may need ongoing counseling and special assistance.
