Davie County Veterans Services provides support to veterans and is staffed by Veterans Services Officer (VSO), Meagan Tomlin.

Services provided are free and the office is funded by Davie County; not the VA or federal government.

The program aims to ensure that veterans receive the benefits and resources they deserve for their service to the country, including accessing healthcare, education, disability, pension, and burial benefits. The program assists veterans in navigating the complexities of the VA system, filing claims, and appealing decisions.

As a former military spouse, Tomlin has sat on the opposite side of the desk and has seen the challenges veterans face when seeking benefits. Since 2022, Davie veterans have received benefits valued at more than $39 million. “Benefits are available for veterans, their dependents and surviving spouses. My job is to educate so these benefits are provided to those who are entitled to them,” said Tomlin.

The Monthly Veterans Social is hosted by Senior Services, Veterans Services and Trellis Supportive Care. Veterans are encouraged to attend on the first Thursday of each month for socialization and refreshments. It is intended to be a time of reminiscing and conversation for veterans; therefore, it is limited to veterans only – no guests, unless a caregiver is needed for the veteran to attend. To learn more and to register, contact Senior Services at 336-753-6230.

“Davie Veterans Services is committed to honoring and supporting the veterans in its community by advocating for their rights and ensuring they receive the support they need and deserve,” she said.

The office is at 644 N.Main St. in Mocksville and is open Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The office requires that those in need of service, contact the office in advance to schedule an appointment.
