National Veterans Chamber of Commerce Opens in San Bernardino

On September 23rd, the National Veterans Chamber of Commerce opened a branch in San Bernardino to serve as a one stop shop for the region’s veterans.

Housed in the Arrowhead United Way building at 646 North D Street, the Veterans Chamber will serve as a hub where veterans can access a wide range of services and support. The designated space will enable veterans to connect with veteran leaders and receive personalized guidance on their next steps. It will also provide a vital meeting space for like-minded community leaders, organizations, and veteran groups involved with the National Veterans Chamber of Commerce.

“It all started with our desire to support and acknowledge the brave men and women who served our country,” said Arrowhead United Way President & CEO, Dr. Gwen Dowdy-Rodgers. “Through Arrowhead United Way‘s many years of service in health, education, and economic stability, we’ve learned that when these heroes return home, they often need support in discovering their identity outside of the uniform and connecting with vital resources”.

The National Veterans Chamber of Commerce San Bernardino is the latest expansion of Arrowhead United Way’s Beneficent Rapid Advanced Veteran Engagement (BRAVE) initiative, which launched in 2024. The BRAVE initiative aims to empower service members by providing them with an array of services, including housing, employment opportunities, and workshops.
