A ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for the Yadkin County Veterans’ Center on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 10 a.m. The Center will be located at 208 N. Jackson Street in Yadkinville.
The Yadkin County Veterans Center will offer a variety of services to the veterans of the community. Along with the Veteran Services office that will be moving there, there will be office space that can be reserved by veterans agencies such as the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, The Veterans of Foreign Wars and other agencies that assist veterans in their claims with the VA. These office spaces can be reserved by these agencies so the veterans can meet at specific times and have a private area in which to discuss the intricacies of their personal claims with these representatives.
Along with the claims work, veterans will also be able to receive other services such as counseling through the Greensboro vet center, which will use the center as an outpost. Here qualified and certified councilors will be able to meet with veterans who suffer from PTSD, depression, and anxiety. They also offer assistance with anger management, alcohol/drug abuse, and family difficulties. The center is also actively seeking out other veterans organizations to get involved that assist veterans in any way possible.
Organizers said the goal is to be “a busy hub for veterans, who can feel they have a place to come and feel at home and be taken care of by fellow veterans who understand and care about their wellbeing. A one-stop-shop for anything and everything they need.”
