How Veteran Empowerment Centers Operate

To see the Live Platform, Visit: https://mmsfi.org/empowerment-centers/

Empowerment Centers stand ready to support our service members, veterans, and their families. With two current locations dedicated to offering food and clothing assistance. They are ready for those in need. Veterans are welcome to visit once a week to supplement their food (up to 50 lbs weekly), essentials, and clothing needs—all provided at no cost.

To ensure the best possible service, each center asks all participants to make a reservation before their visit. For those Veterans living on Cape Cod, they can choose the appropriate Empowerment Center from the options JBCC or Sandwich.

The JBCC Empowerment Center is for Veterans with base access, and the Sandwich Empowerment Center is for Veterans without base access.

  • Reservations are limited to one visit per week.

  • Each individual and/or family may visit only one site.

  • Multiple reservations within the same week will not be accepted and may result in disqualification from the program.

  • If you are unable to honor your reservation, kindly cancel it before making another one.
