The San Luis Obispo Veterans Services Collaborative is hosting a Virtual Veterans and Family Resource Fair next week.

The event is usually held in person, but it was moved to Zoom this year because of the pandemic.

The resource fair begins next Monday, Nov. 9, and continues through Friday, Nov. 13, with webinars scheduled each day except Wednesday.

Each day will feature a different topic, such as employment, housing, health, and education, to help veterans and their families.

"You want people coming out of the service and say, 'Here - education, business, whatever you want to do, be an entrepreneur,' we want to make sure they get a good head start," explained Alan McKean, San Luis Obispo Veterans Services Collaborative President.

McKean says more than 20 local and national employers will be speaking about their companies at the event.

Registration for the event is free.
