Other services available include mental health counseling from the VA Mobile Vet Center, Veteran Readiness and Employment, and many other community Veteran resources.
Veterans are encouraged to bring their DD-214 or VA ID.
There is no charge to attend this event.
Pre-registration is not required. Walk-ins are encouraged, and all Veterans will be seen. If you wish to pre-register, visit Eventbrite.
