Many organizations, agencies and nonprofits will be there to provide resource help for veterans and their families, and in a variety of ways: VA benefits; legal and community services; homeless services; educational benefits; medical screenings and dental resources; jobs, apprenticeships, training and vocational opportunities; housing and other transition and reintegration services.

This “everything fair” has a single mission: to help veterans make direct connections to and get information about veteran-specific programs and resources.

“What makes this fair important is that it is a community-driven effort,” said Tito Alfredo Medina, a Navy veteran and one of the event organizers.
