Veterans

The Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce is a trusted partner to provide assistance and resources for the military members of our Armed Forces, as well as support for their families through the civic, business and volunteer organizations of our community.

As a community we recognize the commitment our Soldiers and their Families are making every day. The strength of the Soldiers comes from the strength of their Families. The strength of Families is supported by the strength of the Community.

We are committed to building partnerships that support the strength, resilience and readiness of these Soldiers and their Families and we hope this Resource Guide will help in some special way to show where information is available.
