ELYRIA, Ohio -- Eligible Lorain County veterans and surviving spouses have until Nov. 26 to apply for holiday meal assistance from the Lorain County Veterans Service Office.

The program provides funds loaded onto a Serving Veterans Card to help cover the cost of Thanksgiving meals for qualified households. Each household is limited to one card load per holiday.

To be preapproved, households must have received financial assistance within the last 12 months or be enrolled in an LCVSC financial assistance program. The Veterans Service Office begins screening and preapproving eligible applicants approximately 30 days before each holiday, and those who qualify automatically receive the benefit on their card.
