DAV MSO Will be at Veterans Outreach Center April 19 & 23

PEORIA – The Salvation Army Veterans Outreach Center, in operation since November of 2011 providing counseling and referrals for veterans and their families, will host the Disabled American Veterans Mobile Service Office(MSO) twice in the next two weeks. The DAV MSO program provides veterans a chance to meet face to face with a National Servive Officer to review benefit eligibility and help you through the process.

“This is exactly the type of opportunity we envisioned when this program began almost two years ago,” said Major Evie Diaz, Divisional Commander for The Salvation Army. “Our Veterans Center staff and the wonderful veteran volunteers who are there each day want to help their fellow veterans and their families, and hosting the DAV Mobile Service Office is a great way to express that service,” said Diaz.

The DAV Mobile Service Office will be at the Veterans Outreach Center from 9am to 4 pm this Friday, April 19 and again on Tuesday, April 23. The DAV MSO service is free, and all veterans need to bring along is a claim number, social security number, and any other pertinent documentation. You do not need to be a DAV member to utilize this service.
