VFW Post 6091 in Dillon County, South Carolina, welcomed more than 34 veterans to its inaugural Veterans Luncheon on June 26 at Union Baptist Church in Latta, South Carolina.
Created by the Post as an informative event to help support local veterans in myriad ways, the Veterans Luncheon hosted representatives from the VA and Humana Healthcare, as well as VFW service officers from the Department of South Carolina.
Aside from being provided a free meal, attendees received help processing or updating their medical claims with the VA, as well as obtain essential information on the SC Pathfinders Program, VA enrollment and eligibility, VA suicide prevention initiatives, VA death benefits, Medicaid supplemental health insurance and hospice care.
The luncheon, the first of three scheduled this year, received positive feedback, according to Post 6091 leadership, who extended their appreciation to the Union Baptist Church for lending their fellowship hall, as well as Humana for its contribution toward the meal.
The next luncheon of its kind is slated for Aug. 26 at Fresh Beginnings Christian Center in Dillon, South Carolina.
