U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist is hosting his 2nd Annual Veterans Resource Expo on Saturday.
The “All In For Pinellas Veterans” event is at the C.W. Bill Young Armed Forces Reserve Center located at 2810 Grand Ave., Pinellas Park.
It starts at 9 a.m.
The event features veterans service organizations and other non-profits in Pinellas County to provide resources to veterans. There will also be a veterans benefits workshop.
Community leaders familiar with veterans issues will also serve on a panel discussing challenges facing the veteran community and resources available in Pinellas County to help combat those challenges.
The event comes after Crist announced a $100,000 grant for the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority to fund transit improvements near the Bay Pines veterans’ facility in west St. Petersburg, the only hospital and veterans resource center in Pinellas County.
