March 24-28 training means brief closing for Kerr County Veterans Service Office

Training of staff members will necessitate the closing of the Kerr County Veterans Service Office for a week later this month.

The office, located in Suite 107 of the county’s 550 Earl Garrett Street facility, will be closed from Monday through Friday, March 24-28.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our local veterans. We are only doing this because we feel it will help us better serve you in the future,” said Kerr County Veterans Service Officer Jenna Sanchez.

The training that staff members will be undergoing is what keeps them accredited and able to assist veterans and their family members with claims.

Completely free of charge, the Kerr County Veterans Service Office helps veterans, their family members and their survivors living in Kerr County understand and obtain the legal benefits that are available to them under federal and state laws.

Normally, the office is open Mondays through Thursdays. It is closed on Fridays. Walk-in visitors are welcome, but those with appointments are given priority.

To contact the office, call 830-792-2203 or email veterans@co.kerr.tx.us.

Those in need of immediate attention the week the Kerr County office is closed may contact the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) Southwest District office at 1-800-252-8387.

Any veteran in crisis or anyone concerned about a veteran in crisis is encouraged to call the Veterans Crisis Line for free, confidential support. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by calling 988 and pressing 1 or by texting 838255.
