The West Metro Veterans Fair continues its tradition of honoring all branches of the armed forces. This event provides veterans with a unique opportunity to network with 50 organizations that provide support and services tailored to their needs. These organizations will offer a comprehensive array of benefits and information for veterans and their families to explore including benefits consultation, counseling services, employment opportunities, health care options and housing assistance.

Additionally, specialized support kits will be available for veterans who are experiencing homelessness, and a complimentary barbecue lunch will also be provided during the event.

Flu shots will be available to veterans enrolled with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Veterans can enroll with the VA by providing a DD-214, if eligible.

"It is a privilege to serve as the Master of Ceremonies for the 12th annual West Metro Veterans Fair, a vital gathering that strengthens our community's support for veterans and their families," said Chris Hoeh, a United States Army veteran and sergeant with the Lakewood Police Department. "This event reflects our unwavering dedication to ensuring those who have served are connected with the resources and recognition they deserve."
