The City of Tempe has posted a new webpage – www.tempe.gov/military – designed to provide veterans, active military and their loved ones with resources to help during or after their service.
Councilmember Robin Arredondo-Savage, an Army veteran, came up with the idea to assemble a number of local and national resources in one place as a service and convenience to veterans and active military. There are links to resources dealing with education, healthcare, counseling, jobs and more. The webpage also will include personal stories to highlight Tempe residents who are serving or have served with distinction.
In addition, the city has started a listserv for community members who want to sign up to get occasional email updates that are relevant to veterans and active military. A link to sign up for the listserv is on the new webpage.
Arredondo-Savage expressed thanks to the many community organizations that partnered with the city to list their information online.
“The city is grateful for the brave service of our community members. We are in a position to be a location where those residents can find resources they need,” she said. “I am proud to be part of this project and excited to watch it grow.”
