WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins is hosting a Veterans Resource Fair in Topeka on Saturday, January 16, 2010.

“The men and women who serve in our nation’s armed forces sacrifice a great deal in order to protect each of us from harm,” Jenkins said. “They deserve our support when they return home, and I am hopeful veterans, active military and reserve component members and their families will come to the resources fair to learn more about all of the services available to them.”

The event will be at the American Legion Post 400 on Highway 24 in Topeka. Congresswoman Jenkins and her staff as well as representatives from organizations that provide assistance with housing, health care and job placement will be on hand from 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. For more information about the Veterans Resource Fair, visit Congresswoman Jenkins’ website at www.lynnjenkins.house.gov.

Jenkins continued, “My staff and I continue to make constituent services our top priority. In addition to having a full-time staffer in Topeka who handles veterans issues, this fair will give us the opportunity to meet with Kansas veterans, to thank them for their service and to ensure they receive all of the services available to them.”
