Deptford Mall Hosting Veterans Outreach

Men and women who have served in the military can find out about their benefits from the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.

If you’re a military veteran, finding out about your benefits and entitlements will be as easy as a trip to the mall this week.

The state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs will be on hand at the Deptford Mall from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to handle questions and concerns as part of their Veterans Outreach Program.

The program is there to educate veterans and their families about the benefits both state and federal governments offer to those who have served in the military.

The stop in Deptford will also include the presentation of the New Jersey Distinguished Service Medal to eligible veterans on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. in the mall’s center court.
