The Kleberg County Veterans Resource Fair, organized by a collaborative effort between local government agencies, community organizations, and veteran support groups, will offer a comprehensive range of services tailored specifically to the needs of veterans and their families. Attendees can expect to find many resources under one roof, from healthcare assistance to employment opportunities, education benefits, and housing assistance.
“We are honored to host the 1st Annual Kleberg County Veterans Resource Fair and are deeply grateful for the generous support from Celanese Bishop Plant, Sleep Apnea Gurus, and Texas A&M University-Kingsville,” said Orlando Rosa, Co-Chair, Kleberg County Veterans Resource Fair Planning Committee & Kleberg County Veterans Service Officer. “This partnership underscores our shared commitment to serving those who have served our nation. Our veterans have selflessly served our country, and it is our duty to ensure they have access to the support and resources they need to thrive in civilian life. This Resource Fair shows appreciation for their sacrifices and provides them with the tools for a successful transition to civilian life.”
The event will feature free lunch, informational booths, networking opportunities, giveaways, and presentations from experts in various fields related to Veteran’s services. Free transportation will be provided for Local Veterans who are interested in attending but cannot make the drive. For transportation services, call 361-595-8585. Additionally, representatives from various government agencies, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and local businesses will be on hand to offer guidance and support.
