Mission Statement

The Hammonton Veterans Affairs Committee (HVAC) is a volunteer advisory committee. The mission of the HVAC is to advocate for present and past veterans of the Town of Hammonton and to promote and highlight the service, dedication, and sacrifices that veterans have made for our community and the nation. The vision of this committee is to educate, empower and engage our veterans as best we can, to be a valuable resource in helping them improve their quality of life and to create community awareness of the historical significance of veterans and their contributions.

Upcoming Events

Help us help our Veterans! Please Join us at the Hammonton Canoe Club on Saturday, March 21, 2026 for a special Coffee & Conversation with a Vet event beginning at 1:00 p.m., with games, conversation starters, light refreshments – coffee of course and more. We will also have a CSO available for veterans who need assistance with their claims as well as important veteran resources and information.

NJ Resource Guide for Servicemembers, Veterans and Families

New Jersey is home to more than 340,000 proud veterans, yet many live with wounds we cannot see and among them, there are more than 53,000 disabled veterans, many of whom struggle with mental illness stemming from their service. Hundreds of veterans are homeless. In gratitude for and out of respect for that service, the New Jersey Resource Guide for Servicemembers, Veterans, and Families is intended to connect the veteran’s community with critical resources and programs.

NJ Veterans Benefits Guide

This guide provides relevant information to New Jersey’s Veterans community. Keeping you informed is part of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (NJDMAVA) continuing outreach efforts. Many New Jersey Veterans are unaware of the numerous federal and state program benefits, entitlements and services they have earned in defense of this great nation. The website at www.nj.gov/military/veterans acts as a portal to assist New Jersey’s Veterans in obtaining the information they need to access benefits and services more efficiently and effectively.
