We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for today’s meeting. The conversations centered on resources for veterans and their families were meaningful, and the roundtable was a tremendous success. We’re excited to continue providing valuable information and services throughout our 2026 meetings. As we move into the new year, we’re proud to kick off the celebration of 15 years of serving the veteran community. Kern County is truly incredible, and we—the Kern County Veterans Collaborative—are honored to support and serve our veterans and their families.

Here we go folks!! We have been working hard on putting this event together for all of our community's vets, so I'm excited to finally officially announce our first VETERAN OPPORTUNITY EVENT. Please share this with anyone who might benefit from having many of the main veteran resources all in one space, especially veterans who have recently returned to KC. Let's get them locked on and linked on. All veterans and dependents are invited.
