On Saturday, April 18th, from 9am to 4pm, an area organization that supports women military veterans will team up with three elected officials to host a free Prince William County Veterans Resource & Job Fair. The event will be held at Ebenezer Baptist Church at 13020 Telegraph Road in Woodbridge.
The lead organization hosting the event will be Women Veterans Interactive, a nationally recognized not-for-profit organization that supports women veterans through various programs. U.S. Army veteran Tammi Lambert, a resident of Woodbridge and a Women Veterans Interactive member who deployed to Iraq while on active duty, has coordinated event planning efforts over the last several months.
Joining Lambert as a co-host will be Del. Richard L. Anderson (R-51st), a retired 30-year Air Force colonel and chairman of the General Assembly Military and Veterans Caucus. Del. Michael T. Futrell (D-2nd), whose district includes Quantico Marine Base, will also co-host the event. Dumfries Town Councilman Derrick Wood (D-Dumfries), a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, will also serve as a co-host for the job fair.
Saturday’s fair will provide one-stop shopping for a number of veteran-related services. More than 50 vendors are scheduled to attend to provide needed services to attendees. Vendors include the Center for Minority Veterans of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Veterans Health and Benefits Administration, the National Cemetery Administration, and the Virginia Department of Veterans Services. Area veteran services organizations will also be on site to provide support. Services will include information on GI Bill education assistance, finding jobs, completing wills, preventing homelessness, and how to participate in the Veterans History Project conducted by the Library of Congress.
In addition to military veterans and their families, members of the media are welcome to attend.
