Ryan Lorrain Director of Communications Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services. We discussed the organization’s mission to connect veterans with earned benefits and resources. They are currently conducting homeless veterans mobile stand downs, with the next event on October 29 in Portland.

Lorrain emphasized the importance of small donations, noting that even $10 can make a significant impact.
