The convenience of direct access and cross collaboration will result in more timely engagement of services and possibly better outcomes as community services and military related services work together to meet needs.
Why: This event offers Veterans the unusual opportunity to explore Veteran specific programs and services in Monterey County’s services and programs in one convenient location, with the opportunity to connect directly with program representatives. Many Veteran’s are unaware of community services available, VETERAN’S CONNECT RESOURCE FAIR brings many of those services and programs together.
