Are you a Veteran or a family member of a Veteran who needs help with accessing health care, benefits, or other services? If so, you are invited to attend a community gathering and resource fair hosted by VA Providence, Rhode Island Department of Health, Staff Sergeant Fox Grant, and the Rhode Island Office of Veteran Services. The event will be held on Wednesday, January 17th from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm at the Cranston Public Library, 140 Sockanosset Crossroad, Cranston, RI 02920.
At this event, you will have the opportunity to meet and network with other Veterans and their families, as well as representatives from various organizations that provide support and assistance to Veterans.
