Welcome Home

We are the Veterans Association of North County. The organization was founded in 2007 by Veteran Chuck Atkinson. VANC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created by Veterans for Veterans and active duty service people and their families to help them navigate life during and after service. We serve as a one-stop resource center for all active-duty military, Veterans, and their families. We centralize services from diverse agencies to assist with jobs, education, benefits, health, and wellness. We also support our local community by providing an exceptional space perfect for meetings, banquets, workshops, presentations and more.
