  • CalVet awarded a grant to Nation’s Finest, a Santa Rosa-based nonprofit, to strengthen mental health services for California Veterans. The funding, announced last month, is designed to reach California Veterans—particularly those at risk of suicide—who face barriers to accessing care.
  • ICYMI: We’ve put together a general report of how the shutdown impacts federal Veterans benefits and services. This article will be updated as new information becomes available.

Veterans Day Hub:

We’ll be publishing our annual Veterans Day deals and discounts hub soon. If you know of a great deal to share with your fellow Veterans, feel free to send us the details at Southards.CALegion@gmail.com.

For example, In-N-Out is offering a free meal to all Veterans and Service Members on Veterans Day. Any business that California Veterans might visit are eligible (e.g., local small businesses, national chains with CA locations, etc.).
