City of Everett hosts monthly luncheon for veterans

Veterans gathered for a free meal, community connection and City resources

Special to The Advocate

Mayor Carlo DeMaria and the City of Everett’s Department of Veterans’ Services hosted a monthly luncheon at the Connolly Center to honor local military veterans for their service. The free event brought together veterans from across the community to connect with one another, share a meal and learn about the wide range of programs and services available through the department. In addition to lunch, City staff were on hand to answer questions, provide information about available resources and ensure that Everett’s veterans have the support they deserve.

“These monthly luncheons are about more than just sharing a meal, they’re about building connections and showing our appreciation to the men and women who have served our country,” said Mayor DeMaria. “Everett is proud to support our veterans, and we will continue to ensure they have access to the resources they need.”

The City of Everett remains committed to providing ongoing services and opportunities for local veterans, including assistance with benefits, health resources and community events.
