WPEO Update
We are focusing on an important new project for the Warrior Partnerships of Eastern Oklahoma. The Community Service Council has signed a vital contract with UniteUs, a
 well-proven software company from New York that has successfully helped over a dozen cities connect multiple agencies that are involved in helping our veterans. It enhances the ability of communities to provide better service to veterans and helps develop a larger base of volunteer veterans. This project will also have a facet that will tie into the existing 2-1-1 Helpline, to provide even more information to veterans and their families. We are excited about this project and will be sharing more news as we move forward. If you would like me to visit with your agency to discuss how this project might assist your agency's ability to reach out, just contact me.

impact
