  • Maryland’s Commitment to Veterans: Maryland’s Commitment to Veterans operates a toll free confidential helpline that offers 24-access to referrals, information, and direct assistance to those who’ve served our country. Whether it’s jobs, housing, counseling, transportation, or just cutting through the red tape to get the VA benefits they so deserve, this program, run by the Maryland state department of health and mental hygiene, is vital to support the transition of our veterans back into civilian life. They’ve answered the call, and we are ready to answer theirs. Kara Turner, kturner@mdva.state.md.us
