About Us

Southwest Riverside County Military Affairs Committee

The SWRC Military Affairs Committee was founded early 2020 and continues to grow in reach and partnerships. The mission of the MAC is to convene and collaborate with resource providers in Southern California, in an effort to bring our large population of local military veterans and families the services they need to thrive.
The two main focuses of the committee are employment and entrepreneurship.
 
SWRC MAC hosts a monthly meeting with its partners to keep up to date on what is available to bring to the local military community.
