About Us

Founded in March 2015, Serving Area Military and Veterans was created to assist local heroes and their families. We are a community of veterans and military supporters working together. We were formed out of the belief that we can make the lives of service members, veterans and their widows better, Serving Area Military collaborates with other community agencies to ensure programs are not being duplicated, while the gap in assistance is being filled. 

​

Serving Area Military operates the SAM Center facility located in Massillon, Ohio. The location is provided by American Legion Post 221 on a zero dollar lease. Our facility was remodeled by caring volunteers. Local businesses and volunteers donated all materials and services. It is a true example of how Veterans' Service Organizations serve the community.

​

The continued growth and operations of the SAM Center, along with other programs offered by Serving Area Military, are financed through private donations from individuals, civic groups, businesses and private grants. We are the conduit of the community's love for our veterans.

When the community puts forward a need, we will strive to find a way to fill that need. We are honored to continue serving those who served.
