Wayne County Treasurer’s Office Veteran’s Fair provides much needed assistance to locals who served

The Wayne County Treasurer’s Office hosted the third annual Veteran’s Resource Fair on Thursday, November 21 at Bellagio Banquet & Conference Center, providing veterans, spouses and family members help and information on healthcare, employment, housing, utility assistance and much more. Well over 400 veterans, spouses and family members attended the event, which was sponsored by PNC Bank, First Independence Bank and ICNA Relief. Guests spent their time being educated by the many local leaders and workers in attendance, and veterans were honored for their service. Fifty of those in attendance were vendor tables from the resource providers. Honorary co-chairs for the event included U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Dearborn) and U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit). In addition, U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Southfield) set up an information table, while opening remarks and the program were led by Wayne County Treasurer Eric Sabree and Marine Corps Sgt. Major Ronald L. Green served as keynote speaker.
