Monroeville, PA, March 28, 2025 – State Sen. Nick Pisciottano (D-Allegheny) today announced a partnership with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and the American Legion Department of Pennsylvania to enhance essential support services for veterans in his district.
This initiative will provide veterans and their families with crucial assistance, including help navigating survivor benefits, access to veteran-related resources, and support for service-related concerns.
“These partnerships are about honoring our commitment to those who have served,” said Senator Pisciottano. “Too often, veterans face unnecessary barriers in accessing the benefits they have earned through their service. By working together with the VFW and the American Legion, we are taking a proactive approach to ensure that our veterans have the support they need.”
Through this collaboration, representatives from the VFW and the American Legion will be available by appointment to help veterans in navigating the Veterans Administration (VA) benefits process, including assistance with accessing survivor benefits and other critical assistance.
“The VFW is excited to partner with Senator Pisciottano to provide the much-needed veteran and survivor benefits and resources to the constituents of the Senator’s district,” said VFW Pennsylvania Department Service Officer, Jessica King.
Senator Pisciottano said that these organizations will provide direct, in-person support by appointment at designated locations across his district:
|
Plum Borough Library |
Senator’s McKeesport Office |
Clairton Municipal Building |
“The American Legion has worked with Nick Pisciottano’s office for many years now and looks forward to helping veterans and their families obtain well-earned VA Benefits,” said American Legion Department Service Officer, Stephen Schott.
“This initiative is about making sure no veteran falls through the cracks,” Senator Pisciottano added. “Our service members and their families have sacrificed so much, and we are dedicated to supporting them in every way we can.”
