Join Us At the Salem Armory Auditorium
The Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ annual Veteran Benefit Expo, the state’s largest veteran resource event, is back in person for the first time since 2019! Join us at the Salem Armory Auditorium, 2310 17th St. N.E., to learn more about and connect with the full range of your earned veteran benefits under one roof.
This year, we are also proud to honor eight decades of serving Oregon’s veterans and their families with ODVA’s 80th Anniversary Celebration immediately prior to the start of the Expo — at 10 a.m. on the Armory Auditorium stage.
The Expo provides a one-stop shop for Oregon veterans of all eras and walks of life to learn about and access the full range of their earned benefits. The event will feature statewide experts and in-depth information from many different benefit areas, including health care, claims assistance, finance, home loans, long-term care, mental health, education, business, recreation — and more.
This year’s event is being presented in partnership with Oregon Lottery and the Oregon Military Department, longtime supporters of causes important to Oregonians and the veteran community.
Updated vendor and exhibitor lists, as well as an event flyer, will be available soon — stay tuned for details!
“We are celebrating the 80th anniversary of ODVA by doing what we’ve always done: showing up for Oregon veterans and their families. The Veteran Benefit Expo is more than an event — it is the heart of our mission brought to life: bringing vital resources and earned benefits into the communities where veterans live and work, and making sure they know they’re seen, valued, and supported.”
