Upcoming Outreach & Offsite Hours
Offsite hours & community events will be posted here.
Schedule to be added — check back, or call the office for the events and offsite locations nearest you.
We regularly hold offsite hours around the County so Veterans don't have to travel to Carlinville. We also take part in regional VA outreach, PACT Act screening events, and enrollment drives.
Community Calendar
One place for everything: Board meetings, our offsite hours, VSO post events (American Legion, VFW, AMVETS), PACT Act and enrollment drives, and key deadlines — enrollment windows, appeal deadlines, and the property-tax filing date.
