WESTPORT–Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 399 invites all veterans to a Veterans Benefits Luncheon on Thursday, July 17th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 

This event is free and open to all. The gathering is part of “an outreach effort to check in on veterans’ welfare and connect them with the benefits and support they have earned,” said Phil Delgado, Quartermaster of Post 399.

Everyone welcome

“Everyone is welcome,” Delgado added. “Whether you’re a veteran or you know someone who served, this is a chance to enjoy lunch, learn more about available veterans’ benefits, and connect with other members of the veteran community in a relaxed and supportive setting.”

“Fifty people came to our June benefits lunch, so we’re going to continue our outreach so that  veterans know” how to access the benefits available to them.

With 29,000 veterans, Fairfield County has the third-highest veteran population in the state.
