988

988 is the new number for the Veterans Crisis Line, but with the very same support. Once the number is dialed, only the number 1 needs to be pressed. This was launched in July of 2022 as a universal entry point which will connect a veteran who is in a crisis with an expert responder. Establishing a short series of numbers is a powerful addition to the Department of Veterans Affairs arsenal of resources. It is a great tool in helping combat another number which is the rate of deaths by suicide among our veterans and service members.
Since the crisis line was started back in 2007, the responders have answered more than 6.5 million calls. They have helped begin the dispatch of emergency services to the callers nearly 233,000 times. 739,000 chats were accounted for along with 253,000 text messages. Over a million referrals to local VA Suicide prevention Coordinators were forwarded on behalf of the veterans.
VFW Posts are always looking for ways to assist veterans and here in Lehigh Acres at Post 4174, we have many programs which are easily accessible to one by simply joining us as a member if you’re eligible. We can assist you in receiving the benefits you have earned, help you and your family adjust to civilian life, provide assistance to the welfare of your children and of course, offer the comradery once enjoyed in the military.
But, we also have many activities which are strictly for enjoyment, such as our Bingo nights, our meals, our Show me the Money games, Karaoke nights and dancing, the many sports programs on all the different tv sets, and of course, we have our regular meetings. We run different projects throughout the year, such as Toys for Tots, Canned Food drives, School supply drives, and educating students in Americana.
Our location is 25 S. Homestead Road and the phone number is 239-369-5100. A call at any time will inform you of any special activities or a meal for that evening if you’re curious. Give us a chance to introduce our family to yours. You will be glad you did!
