OUR MISSION
VAS is a non-profit organization which utilizes the skill, knowledge and education of volunteers
(55 and older) to help other seniors in understanding and pursuing their entitlements.


ABOUT US

 

HISTORY
VAS was created in 1977 as part of a nationwide effort by the Junior League to provide information on insurance alternatives for senior community members, and to demonstrate that elderly residents of the community can be a resource for solving problems.  In 1980, VAS was incorporated as a private, non-profit corporation and became recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as an organization with 501 (c) (3) status. 
 

FUNDING

VAS receives funding through individuals, foundations and corporations.  VAS also maintains two contracts; one with the Nebraska Department of Insurance to provide insurance counseling and assistance, and the other is with the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging.
