Nation's Finest - Chico

06/10/2026

Life after service is tough. Don't face it alone.

Our approach starts with peer support. You’ll talk with another Veteran who’s been through what you’ve been through. Even just one conversation can be the start of feeling better.

Our Veteran Peer Support Groups are open to all Veterans in the North Valley Region, regardless of discharge status.

Monday, June 15th at 12 PM
535 Wall St, Chico (Remote meetings planned for the future)

For more information: email [email protected] or call Robby at 530-354-4815.
