Elmore county now has a full time Veteran Services Officer (VSO). For many years the State provided a VSO but served multiple counties and would work in Elmore county only part time. Steven B. Reeves is now the new VSO and is assigned to Elmore county full-time.
Mr. Reeves spoke at the last Commission meeting and his primary role was explained in an portion of the information sheet he provided:
VSO’s assist veterans and their families by answering questions, advising, and educating individuals and groups on what benefits are available from federal, state, county, and local resources. VSO’s are trained and accredited by the VA or other recognized organizations to provide assistance to veterans, their dependents, and survivors.
The Veterans Services office in currently located at 203 Hill St Wetumpka but will soon be relocated to a new space in the Courthouse. Their office hours are Monday-Friday 8-11:30am/12:30-5pm and the phone number is 334-567-1175.
We appreciate our many veterans for their service and sacrifice.
