Our Mission

To integrate military and civilian resources through one central location providing efficient and effective support and fellowship for Veterans, active duty, reserves, guards and their families.

Our Vision

To offer a support and resource haven for ALL Veterans, well and in-need.

We Are

Veterans, Active Duty, and Military Families love to live among the lakes and piney woods of East Texas. However, along with this serenity comes frustration when resources, information, and outlets for wellness are needed but cannot be found. Where do we go? Who has this service? Only to be told “We don’t do that; you have to go someplace else.” Just connecting to other Military families challenges their time, patience, and pocketbooks. Many give up!

CampV (Community Assisting Military Personnel and Veterans) has answered the call!

Our unique 20-acre campus provides convenient access to local Veteran Service Providers at one location in Tyler, Tx. Veteran Volunteer Advocates meet personally with clients to assess needs and situations. Then working through a network of resources, Veteran families receive assistance to advance their current circumstances.

Key to empowering Post Traumatic Growth are our community supporters. While CampV is the catalyst inspiring a movement to serve those who have served us, community collaborations help unlock opportunities and integration.

You too can join this inspired movement to serve those that have served us; who have sacrificed; and who gave you freedom.

Capital “V” in CampV

The capital letter “V” in CampV stands for Veterans. We use a capital “V” whenever we write this word and we do so for a reason. At CampV, we greatly respect all of our Service Men and Women and capitalizing Veteran is emblematic of our reverence for their service.

Opening April 2021

Our Place is a dedicated building at CAMPV (Community Assisting Military Personnel and Veterans) for women who are currently serving in the armed forces, including Reserve and Guard members, military spouses, and Veterans. Children are welcome.

In January of 2020, the Women’s Fund of Smith County turned our vision into a reality after awarding CampV with a $100,000 grant from the Women’s Fund of Smith County. CampV is grateful for the support we have received from the Women’s Fund and our amazing supports who are answering the call for our Veterans and their families.

“Honoring the Path of Women Veterans,” Our Place will directly provide or connect women to services and resources to help them transition from military to civilian life and to the range of services available to them at any stage of current military service or veteran life. Programs and services will include

Work readiness

Education resources

Support groups

Health and wellness
