The 3rd Annual Calling All Veterans Day is an opportunity to receive free information on resources and benefits for Veterans of all eras, their spouses, or their aging parents. Subject matter experts will present on topics that are important to Veterans and their family. Benefit providers as well as organizations that provide fun activities that promote a sense of connection and holistic health will be onsite.

Due to COVID our first  and second annual Calling All Veterans Day were live streamed on RI Elder Info’s Facebook page and YouTube channels. This enabled us to reach thousands of views. This year we are holding the event in-person AND harnessing our success in the virtual world to combine our reach to more of the 60,000+ Veterans in Rhode Island.

This is also an opportunity for community members to gather information and resources that empower their own independent aging.

The event is free and open to Veterans of all eras, their family and the community!
