(KAIT) - VFW Post 2242 is ready to make a big impact on local veterans, thanks to funding awarded through the CARES Act grant. The post was awarded $41,500, and all of that money is going to help veterans in Greene, Clay, and Lawrence counties. According to the VFW, there are more than 5,000 veterans living in these three counties. The Post plans to put $15,000 of the grant toward its Veterans in Need Program, to help veterans with any bills or expenses they may need.
