East Bay Veterans To Host Job and Education Fair
Concord, CA – The East Bay Veterans Fair will be held on July 18, 2011, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Concord Hilton (1970 Diamond Blvd., Concord, CA). The Concord Vet Center, AMVETS Post 26 and Vietnam Veterans of Diablo Valley will be hosting this bi-annual veterans resource, job and education fair.
The East Bay Veterans Fair will be a “one-stop-shop” for veterans and active duty military and their families to find veteran friendly employers, access to veteran benefits counselors, job search assistance and veteran resources from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Blue Star Moms of Contra Costa County will be on hand to provide baby-sitting for attendees and collecting donations for military care packages.
Also this year, Blood Centers of the Pacific will be conducting a blood drive in honor of our veterans and active duty military. Your donation will help support VA hospitals and The David Grant Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base. To pre-register for the blood drive visit https://www.bloodheroes.com/. To participate in the blood drive it is required that you have a form of identification. No pre-registration for The East Bay Veterans Fair is necessary, but access to counselors will be on a first-come, first-served basis. If you require benefits counseling it is recommended, but not required, that you bring a copy of your DD-214.
If you would like to be a vendor or volunteer please contact Jeremy Mattia at 925.680.4526 or jeremy.mattia@va.gov.
