are determined to make a difference in the lives of local military families:

We understand what it means to have a loved one serve in the armed forces whether they are:

deployed in a combat zone or not;
stationed on US soil or not;
career military or not;
wounded or not;
active duty or a veteran
..we know and understand the complicated emotions and special situations that military families experience. We are here if you need us! We meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month at the Veterans Memorial Building in Placerville (130 Placerville Drive), at 6:30 pm. All are welcome! If you are a military/veteran family in El Dorado County and need information, moral support, financial aid, or a hand up, please contact us at (530) 497-0878. If you know of an EDC veteran who has sustained any kind of wound in the war on terror, please nominate he/she for one of our gorgeous, hand-made patriotic quilts.

Our Story

Since 2005, Military Family Support Group (MFSG) has been open to all family members and friends who have, or who have had, a loved one serving in any branch of the U.S. Military. There are no other membership requirements or dues. We are a volunteer-led, community-based, non-political, non-religious, charitable organization and we obtained our 501(c)(3) status in 2013. Military Family Support Group is made up of volunteer individuals who are determined to make a difference in the lives of local military/veteran families because we understand what it means to have a loved one serve in the armed forces - whether they are... ...deployed in a combat zone or not; ...stationed on US soil or not; ...career military or not; ...wounded or not; ...active duty or a veteran. We know and understand the complicated emotions and special situations that military/veteran families experience and we are in the unique position of being able to offer immediate aid. If you are a military/veteran family in El Dorado County and need information, transportation, moral support, financial aid, clothing, food, fuel, household items, furniture, or a simple hand up, please contact us at (530) 497-0878.

We traditionally have met on the 4th Tuesday of each month at the Veterans Memorial Building in Placerville, but due to staffing issues, we have temporarily suspended these meetings. If you would like to help us revive the meetings and are willing to help facilitate, please let us know!

Our outreach has pushed us to grow as an organization and as a result we have created an office space where those in need can get services right away: El Dorado Veteran Resources - a Permanent Stand Down - Powered by Military Family Support Group (commonly referred to as EDVR). This is a very unique one-of-its-kind-in-California ground-breaking collaboration between many wonderful community organizations and the El Dorado County Department of Veteran Affairs and we are immensely proud! Our office and our transportation department is staffed completely by volunteers - some of them veterans - and we work tirelessly to honor and empower veterans and their families. The EDVR office is located in the Veterans Memorial Building, 130 Placerville Drive, Suite A, Placerville, CA. Our office hours are Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 4:00pm. Phone is (530) 621-5146.
