Please fill out the digital form below for quicker assistance when applying for Emergency Financial Assistance or Operation Dental Care.

We also offer a paper PDF application. If you need help with the application, we can assist you over the phone, at LEAVEN, or by appointment at our office.

Please note that, due to funding limitations and capacity, our Veterans Emergency Fund is restricted to Outagamie, Winnebago, Calumet, Waupaca, and nearby Northeast Wisconsin Counties by exception.

  • This program serves veterans and their immediate family (spouse, un-remarried surviving spouse, child, or stepchild) who need emergency financial assistance in Outagamie, Winnebago, Calumet, Waupaca, and other nearby counties in Wisconsin by exception.

  • We partner with Tri-County Dental to provide a dental home for eligible veterans and their dependents with dental care.
