Kerr County Veterans Service Office and AACOG: Utility Help, Health Items and Home Repairs

The partnership. The county's announcement (April 10, 2026): "A partnership effort between the Kerr County Veterans Service Office (VSO) and the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) Area Agency on Aging will mean that local military veterans and adults 60 and older will receive additional support. Individuals who are veterans or aging adults may be eligible for assistance with: Income Support (for utility bills, such as electricity, water, gas, etc.); Health - For items to promote or maintain health and safety, such as durable medical equipment, nutritional supplements, glasses, hearing aids, basic dental care, disposable undergarments ...; Residential Repair - For minor home modifications to promote and maintain health and safety, such as grab bars, handrails, tub cuts, some small appliances, ramps, etc." How. Call the Alamo Service Connection, 866-231-4922, or the Veterans Service Office, 830-792-2203, which "will guide callers through the application process and ensure they are connected to the appropriate AACOG programs". AACOG's own rules decide eligibility; the county's notice sets no income test. Seasonal giveaways. Box fans (August 2026): "Those eligible to receive a free box fan are Kerr County-area veterans and local residents aged 60 years or older", first come, first served. Space heaters (November 2025, AACOG's Warm Hearts Warm Homes programme): "at no cost to individuals 60 years and older and/or caregivers 55 years and older who do not have any other safe heat source in their residence"; a stove does not count as a heat source. In August 2025 the office and AACOG handed out HEB gift cards to veterans 60 and older. Each runs while supplies last; ask the office.
