COVO to hold Veterans Stand Down, Community Resource Fair
Central Oregon Veterans Outreach is hosting the 2017 Veterans Stand Down and Community Resource Fair on Wednesday, June 28 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Bend Elks Lodge, located at 63120 Boyd Acres Rd. in Bend.
This event is focusing on our homeless and low-income veterans and civilians who are needing to connect with community resources.
We will have representatives from the Veterans Administration, local Vet Center, DHS, Social Security, Neighbor Impact, Housing Works, COCC and OSU, Worksource, Goodwill, Jobs Connect, and many more!
Bus transportation passes for local (Bend) bus routes will be available for people who would like to attend but don’t have transportation. The local bus route stop for the event is Rt.4 F (ODOT Park and Ride). COVO will be supplying the passes on the day prior to the event (6/27) at the COVO office at 61510 S. Hwy 97. There will be a transport from the bus stop to the Elks Lodge.
Transportation from Warm Springs, Madras, and Redmond is also available at the attached times. The Elks Lodge will be serving a hot breakfast to attendees and there will be sack lunches available. Questions can be directed to the COVO Outreach Manager, Tory Flory, 541-383-2793 ext. 125.
