Allentown LGBT center to help veterans sign up for benefits
The Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center in Allentown has partnered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to begin offering benefits enrollment assistance to veterans.
The first session takes place 10-11:30 a.m. Oct. 19 at the center, 522 W. Maple St. It’s free to attend.
Further sessions will take place at the same time on the third Wednesday of each month. The center plans to do this for at least a year, said Adrian Shanker, executive director, adding the program could continue if there is enough interest in the community.
“Ensuring that LGBT veterans know how to enroll for VA benefits is core to the dream of health equity for LGBT people,” Shanker said in a statement.
