County Commissioners & Constitutional
Officers
to host Veterans Resource Fair on Aug. 13
FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County
Commissioners and the County’s Constitutional Officers will host a Veterans
Resource Fair on Wednesday, Aug. 13, from 3-6 p.m. at the Fort Athletic Club,
114 Saltzman Ave., Oceanport.
"On behalf of my fellow Commissioners, I invite
all veterans throughout Monmouth County to attend the County’s Veterans
Resource Fair," said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. "This
event provides veterans and their loved ones with valuable information about
programs and resources available to them through their courageous service to
our Country. The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners is proud to
support our veterans who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedoms through
events like the Veterans Resource Fair."
“The service providers scheduled to be in attendance
will offer resources for opportunities including education, legal, employment,
social activities, healthcare, support services and Veteran ID Cards. All
veterans are invited to join us for this special event,” said Commissioner
Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the Division on Aging, Disabilities
and Veterans Services. “If you are unable to make the Fair but would like more
information on resources available to our veterans, please call the Office on
Veterans Services at 732-683-8675.”
“As Monmouth County Clerk,
I am honored to participate in this event for our veterans and provide
resources such as a discount program that has grown to more than 260 Monmouth
County businesses participating,” said Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano
Hanlon. “It’s just a small way to repay
our veterans for all the sacrifices they have made for us.”
“It’s an
honor to connect directly with veterans and their families at events like the
Veterans Resource Fair,” said Monmouth County Surrogate Maureen T. Raisch.
“We’re here to offer guidance during life’s most personal transitions-whether
it’s planning a will, protecting a loved one, or navigating the probate
process. Our goal is to be a trusted
resource when it matters most.”
“The Prosecutor’s Office is
honored to support such a vitally important collective effort,” Monmouth County
Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago said. “All of our veterans and their families
sacrificed so much of themselves to defend American freedom, and our gratitude
should be supplemented by action, returning the favor to the degree we can by
connecting them with a broad range of support services – all on one day, and
under one roof.”
Limited seating will be available for a Veterans
Benefits presentation by the VA New Jersey Healthcare System. Refreshments will
be provided. Call 732-431-7450 to preregister.
