During the event, Michael Haynes, Coordinator of Government Affairs and Public Policy at Long Island Cares, The Harry Chapin Food Bank, will speak on their Military Appreciation Tuesday Program, which supplies Long Island Veterans and their families with groceries.  Attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item that will be donated to Long Island Cares.  Drop off boxes will be available at Cona Elder Law on November 13th.

For the past three years, the VA accredited attorneys at Cona Elder Law have offered their services on a pro bono basis to help nearly 200 veterans and their spouses/widows over age 65 to access this important benefit. "The key to obtaining these benefits lies in accurately completing the complex and lengthy application, which requires a thorough knowledge of the financial and service criteria," says Melissa Negrin-Wiener, Esq.

Those who attend the November 13th event will have the opportunity to view the Susan C. Snowe Caregiver Resource Center offering a range of elder care and caregiver information and resources from various organizations, such as assisted living communities, home health care organizations, financial services, insurance and more.
