West Metro Veterans Fair returns for 11th year, continuing its tradition of supporting veterans

The Elks Lodge and the City of Lakewood are proud to announce the 11th annual West Metro Veterans Fair. The event will take place on Thursday, Oct. 3 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lakewood Elks Lodge #1777, 1455 Newland St.

The West Metro Veterans Fair continues its tradition of honoring all branches of the armed forces. This event provides veterans with a unique opportunity to network with more than 50 organizations that provide support and services tailored to their needs. These organizations will offer a comprehensive array of benefits and information for veterans and their families to explore benefits consultation, counseling services, employment opportunities, health care options and housing assistance.

Additionally, specialized support kits will be available for veterans who experiencing homelessness, and complimentary lunch will also be provided during the event.

Flu shots will also be available to veterans enrolled with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

"I am honored to participate in the 11th annual West Metro Veterans Fair, an event that continues to grow in importance as we strive to connect veterans and their families with vital resources," said Master of Ceremonies Chris Hoeh, a United States Army veteran and sergeant with the Lakewood Police Department. "This event is a testament to our collective commitment to supporting those who have served our country."
