Last Thursday, our outreach team joined with the Veterans Benefits Administration Regional Office from Montgomery, the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs, the Ashland Police Department, and multiple community partners in Ashland, Alabama. The event was designed to bring the community of Ashland and Clay County Veterans together and offer a greater understanding of information and resources VA offers. Veterans and family members also had the opportunity to sit down with VBA representatives to file claims and gather information about potential benefits they have earned—altogether more than 30 benefits claims were filed.
The Birmingham VA Mobile Medical Unit was on station to provide quick checkups, supply vital information about health care services, and showcased its unique ability to provide mental health and social work services to Veterans.
Our community partners ranged from the local American Legion, Dove kidney transplant outreach, Alabama TBI Program, and a host of many more all working for the same goal to support our Veterans.
