On November 14, another free workshop featuring the Department of Veterans Affairs will be held at Borough Hall in Room 122, from 10AM to 2PM The focus will be on applying for and using benefits, other benefits issues and homeless services. There will be a Q&A after and time for one-on-one support.
“Our veterans who so bravely served our country deserve our support,” said Borough President Oddo. “I am committed to helping all veterans, including those from the ‘Greatest Generation’ who fought in World War II and Korea, our brave Vietnam Vets, who have never received the honor for their service they deserve, and those who have served in more recent times in Iraq and Afghanistan. The art show that will take place in Borough Hall during November will honor our veterans and our free workshops will provide them with access to information and services they need. I encourage veterans to participate.”
