Tony Evers and WDVA Secretary Mary Kolar announced the $620,940 in grants on Friday. “Our veteran community in Wisconsin is at its best when organizations work together to provide care and assistance to our nation’s heroes,” Evers said. “Especially after a difficult year for all of us, when many of our most vulnerable veterans are hurting, it is critical that we support these important organizations that can serve as a lifeline to veterans and their families.” Organizations in Janesville, La Crosse, Green Bay, Appleton and the Milwaukee area will receive funding from the program.
