Annual Cleveland County event connects veterans with resources

Cleveland County will host its fourth annual Veteran's Resource Connection on Saturday, Nov. 21 at the LeGrand Center. The event, which provides resources for veterans, their families and caregivers, is 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1800 E. Marion St. Phyllis Nowlen, clerk to the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners, said the county is especially passionate about the free event because it connects attendees with local organizations, businesses and service providers. "Last year, we were able to serve 258 veterans, and we are looking forward to building on that impact this year," she said. "Beyond simply sharing information, the heart of this event is making sure our veterans and their families know they are not alone and that help is available right here in our community. Sometimes, one conversation or one connection can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life, and we want to reach those who may not know what resources are available to them." Nowlen said that in the past, the event has led to successful outcomes for local veterans. She said one veteran who attended the event last year applied for several benefits he was eligible for, but he also needed home health assistance for his wife.
