At 93.1 JAMZ, we’re all about supporting the community, and that includes the brave men and women who have served our country. Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Heather from Garske Veteran Services, an organization making a real difference for veterans in Madison and beyond.

Garske Veteran Services is a Wisconsin-based organization dedicated to helping veterans transition back into civilian life. With an office on the west side of Madison, they focus on employment services for veterans who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or recently incarcerated.

Their mission? Simple: Help vets get employed, stay employed, and navigate the challenges of re-entering civilian life.

Comprehensive Support for Veterans

Garske Veteran Services does more than just find jobs. Their holistic approach ensures veterans have everything they need to succeed. Here’s a breakdown of some of the key services they provide:

✔ Resume & Cover Letter Assistance – Professional help with writing and editing to make veterans stand out to employers.

✔ Mock Interviews & Job Training – Hands-on preparation to boost confidence and improve interview skills.

✔ Financial Assistance – Quarterly gas or food cards to help during the transition phase, as long as proof of employment is provided.

✔ Work Attire Support – Providing professional clothing for interviews and employment.

✔ Transportation Help – Assistance for those who need help getting to and from work.

✔ Housing Support – Through the VA’s HUD-VASH program, veterans can apply for stable housing opportunities.

It’s All Free for Veterans

One of the best things about Garske Veteran Services? Everything is 100% free for veterans. Funded through grants from the Department of Labor, they provide these life-changing resources without charging veterans a dime.
