## Resource

Baton Rouge’s Vet Center is a total loss after a devastating fire Sunday morning, forcing veterans to seek services elsewhere as the building is deemed unsafe. Firefighters report broken windows, fallen trees, and widespread debris — with the structure now unusable. The VA has relocated operations to the VA Baton Rouge South Community Based Outpatient Clinic on Anselmo Lane; veterans should contact them directly for appointments and updated services. The loss deeply impacts the community — as locals like Moses and Julie Thompson attest — the center isn’t just a building; it’s a lifeline for countless service members, especially after Thompson arrived with food donations only to find the facility in ruins.
