This year’s Gridlife Laguna Festival at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca wasn’t just about racing, it was about reaching Veterans in new and meaningful ways. 🏁

In partnership with VETMotorsports and the Santa Cruz Vet Center, our VA Palo Alto outreach team was proud to be part of the action. We connected with Veterans and their families to share information about VA health care enrollment, benefits and claims assistance, education and employment resources, and community-based programs.

We’re thankful for the opportunity to be part of such a dynamic event and to continue building bridges between Veterans and the support they’ve earned.

At the Veteran San Mateo Stand Down, we had the opportunity to connect with Veterans face-to-face and offer real-time support, right where it’s needed most. 🇺🇸

In partnership with the County of San Mateo - Government, our VA Palo Alto team helped Veterans enroll in health care, receive flu shots, schedule appointments, and access resources for housing, mental health, employment, and more.

We’re grateful to every Veteran who stopped by and to our dedicated staff who made this outreach possible. These moments remind us why we do what we do.
