ADVOCATES

Over 200 Legionnaires (veterans who are members of The American Legion, Department of Florida) are educated and trained annually by the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs. These individuals visit service members and their families during times of need and provide expert assistance to obtain and use the federal and state benefits to which they are entitled. Stemming from a veteran’s organization, these compassionate folks are able to intimately relate to the stresses and challenges faced by our military families, then provide guidance based, not only on training, but also on personal experience. Best of all, there is never a fee for this service. All VetRelief Advocates generously volunteer their time and talent to our service men and women and their families.
