Tri-County Veterans Resource Fair and Stand Down

Description

This event plays a critical role in helping our local veterans, active duty
personnel and their families to obtain necessary goods and services.
Shuttle transportation will be available in Chatham, Harnett, and
Lee counties.

All Veterans, Active Duty, National Guard, Reservists, Spouses of
Veterans, Family Members of Veterans and Community Members are
welcome to attend the resource fair.

Stand Down is a day when the community comes together to serve and
offer hope, services, food, counseling, supplies, and provide a lifeline to
Veterans that lack adequate resources available to them.
