LCVSO highlights ongoing outreach efforts in Tomahawk

TOMAHAWK – The Lincoln County Veterans Service Office (LCVSO) earlier this month highlighted the continuation of its efforts in Tomahawk.

Lincoln County Veterans Service Officer Matthew Pultz coordinates an outreach program at City Hall, 23 N. 2^nd St., several times a month. The visits have gone from being semi-regular to now twice-monthly.

A release from LCVSO said the service “provides a convenient location for veterans to meet with the LCVSO and receive assistance with a variety of benefits and services.”

“The decision to continue these visits was made in response to the overwhelmingly positive feedback received from veterans in the community,” the release stated. “The LCVSO recognizes the importance of making its services easily accessible to all veterans, and this outreach program is just one way that it is working to achieve that goal.”

LCVSO said it encourages all veterans to take advantage of this valuable resource.

By connecting with the LCVSO, veterans can learn about the full range of benefits and services available to them, including compensation and pension; education and training; healthcare; housing assistance; burial benefits; and much more, according to LCVSO.

In addition to the outreach program at the Tomahawk City Hall, LCVSO said it also offers a variety of other services to veterans in Lincoln County, including individual counseling and assistance; claims preparation and filing; representation at hearings; outreach and education; and referrals to other community resources.

Veterans who are interested in scheduling an appointment with the LCVSO at Tomahawk City Hall can call 715-539-1083. Walk-ins may also be accommodated based on availability. Pultz will be at City Hall two Thursdays each month through the end of the year, including Thursday, May 15; Thursday, May 29; and Thursday, June 12.
