State Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-187th, announces veterans assistance appointments are available 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 22 at his Northwestern Lehigh Office, 6806 Route 309, Suite 200A, New Tripoli.

Mackenzie offers this free service on the fourth Tuesday of each month at that office location.

Veterans or their dependents can schedule an in-person meeting with an American Legion veterans service officer to discuss issues and have questions answered about benefits and programs for which they may be eligible.

Veterans do not need to be an American Legion member to receive these free services.

Veterans or their dependents who are interested in meeting with the service officer should call Mackenzie’s office at 610-760-7082 or 1-833-933-3675 (toll-free) to schedule an appointment.

Mackenzie also offers veterans assistance appointments at his district office in Lower Macungie Township on the second Friday of each month.
