Veteran assistance offered

VALLEY — La Puente’s Outreach Services Program is looking to assist veterans in the San Luis Valley with services including rental assistance, medical and non-medical gas vouchers, household provisions, interview or work clothing, tuition assistance and job training. Eligible veterans are able to receive gas vouchers for appointments within the San Luis Valley and throughout the state of Colorado. These services are offered through a grant which requires documented proof of a veteran’s honorable or Other Than Honorable discharge status either through their DD-214 paperwork or a letter from a V.A.’s office.
