Last week we were honored to support our local veterans, their families, and the community at the Ottawa County Veterans Stand Down and Resource Fair. The event was a resounding success, bringing together veterans, family members, and supporters for a day filled with valuable resources and camaraderie. Attendees had access to an array of free services, including food, clothing, haircuts, surplus supplies, toiletries, and more. It was inspiring to see the community come together with nonprofits, employers, and agencies offering a wide range of resources and support tailored specifically to our veterans. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this event a memorable and impactful day for those who have served our country. Your dedication to supporting our veterans is truly appreciated! #veterans #communitysupport #ottawacounty #resourcefair #veteranssupport
