Remembering Our Current Military
Established in 2017, the Wabash Valley Base Community Council encourages the relationship between businesses and current military, educates the community of current events and partners closely with the six military assets in the Wabash Valley.
|
The nonprofit was created to remember our current military members and their families that are stationed in the Wabash Valley. It is our duty to provide resources, employment opportunities and relocation assistance to those who fight for freedom.
|
"The Base Community Council is committed to providing assistance to our military personnel and their families in their time of need."
