HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Central Kansas Veterans Community Partnership's resource fair event Saturday is going to be a drive-through event.
"We've worked with Uptown Hutch to section off part of the south parking lot," said Raechel Manley with CKVCP. "We'll direct you through, kind of loop you through all of the booths. You'll have an opportunity to pause and talk to each booth in whatever amount of time you need. They'll set up an appointment if you need additional time. Pizza Ranch, being a major sponsor of this event, they will provide you with a voucher for a free meal."
The resource fair is for all veterans of any age.
"CKVCP does not dissuade or discourage anyone with a different discharge status," Manley said. "Any veteran, anybody that has served, no matter the branch, no matter the year, no matter how long, we're here to help you."
Over 40 vendors will be available with different free services for veterans.
"CKVCP serves as kind of a wagon wheel," Manley said. "I tell people, we're that center spoke. You come to us and say, hey I need help and then we have those connecting pieces out to that larger ring."
The event is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in the Uptown Hutch parking lot.
