Grand Opening of a New Army Strong Community Center

 

The grand opening of a new Army Strong Community Center is Saturday, May 14, at 10 a.m. on the beautiful Clackamas Community College campus in Oregon City, Ore. This is the fourth ASCC in the nation, the first west of the Mississippi River, and the first to be located at a community college.

The Army Strong Community Centers (ASCC) is designed to provide continuity of support to service members, retirees, veterans and their families at the same level of access and resources as they would expect to find on a military installation. This initiative assists in mitigating the effects of mobilization and deployment to include the challenges of the military lifestyle.

The ASCC is created to fill gaps in services and to support geographically dispersed service members, retirees, veterans and their families. ASCCs connect services that exist in the community with military services needed for families and provide them directly via personal contact to obtain resolution. Trained, qualified and skilled staff are available on a 24/7 basis for services that include military benefits, employment assistance, child and youth services, education benefits and family deployment issues. ASCC is open to all branches of the military.

ASCC in Rochester, N.Y.; Corapolis, Penn.; Brevard, N.C.; and Oregon City has assisted over 27,760 service members, families and survivors of the fallen since December 2008 and partnered with many community organizations.

For more information, media may contact the 88th Regional Support Command Public Affairs Office at 608.388.0336 or email, paula.z.jones@us.army.mil. Lt. Col Paula Jones is the on-site point of contact and may be reached at 608-377-3982.
