VET Tech Café

In October 2010, Ladies Operation Moving Forward (LOMF) gave birth to the Veterans Technology Center aka VET Tech Café. The VET Tech Café™ is a functional area of LOMF. It is a community service, social action and an educational facility where computers and other related communications technologies are available to increase self-sufficiency, skill building opportunities, job training, entrepreneur and other creative experiences to veterans, especially to women veterans who has limited or no access to computers at all and their families, youth and the public who otherwise might have little or no opportunity to use them or learn to use these technologies.

 

In December 2012, the Veterans Technology Center was registered as its own LLC, now known as the Veterans Technology Center, LLC dba VTech Center, LLC, co-located with Safe Homes Ladies Operation Moving Forward (Women Veterans Division) in Federal Way, WA.
