The six-hour program will be aimed at helping homeless veterans in Texarkana and the surrounding area.
The Texarkana Area Veteran Council estimates that there could be as many as 15 homeless veterans living on the streets of the Twin Cities.
The program will focus on all available Veterans Administration services and benefits, as well as on housing information, community resources, employment aid and education.
