On Thursday, VA Providence’s enrollment team braved the cold to attend the Mid-Winter Veteran Resource Fair at the CCRI Newport Campus Atrium, bringing vital information and assistance directly to Veterans in the community.

This event provided Veterans and their families a chance to connect with resources tailored to their needs. Our Enrollment Team was on-site to assist with eligibility and enrollment, ensuring attendees could access the care and benefits they’ve earned. The event also featured the Veterans Benefits Administration, Providence Vet Center, Newport Mental Health, and other local organizations offering wellness, benefits, and support services.

At VA Providence, we’re committed to meeting Veterans where they are, and events like the Mid-Winter Resource Fair help bridge the gap between Veterans and the services they deserve. A special thank you to the organizers and all who participated for making this event a resounding success!
