CAVHCS to Host 2026 VA Caregiver Resource Fair in Montgomery

Veterans, Families, and Caregivers Invited to Explore Critical Support Services, Health Resources, and Community Programs at June 26 Event

MONTGOMERY, Ala. | As the Department of Veterans Affairs continues to expand support for the families and caregivers who serve alongside America's Veterans, the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System (CAVHCS) will host its annual VA Caregiver Resource Fair on June 26, bringing together healthcare professionals, community organizations, and Veteran support programs under one roof.

The event, themed Caregiving Connects Us, Community Strengthens Us," will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. CDT on Friday, June 26, 2026, at the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl, located at 220 Hall Street in Montgomery.

Organizers say the fair is designed to recognize the vital role caregivers play in supporting Veterans while providing direct access to resources that enhance caregiver wellness, improve quality of life, and strengthen connections between Veterans, their families, and community partners.

The event comes as the VA continues nationwide efforts to expand awareness of caregiver assistance programs amid growing demand for long-term support services for aging Veterans, wounded warriors, and those managing service-connected disabilities.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with representatives from VA healthcare programs, Veteran support organizations, and local community agencies offering services ranging from healthcare and mental health support to respite care, benefits assistance, wellness programs, and caregiver education.

In addition to informational exhibits, participants can take part in live demonstrations and interactive activities designed to help caregivers better navigate available resources while promoting overall health and well-being.

Officials say the fair aims to bridge gaps between caregivers and the services available to them, ensuring that those who provide daily support to Veterans have access to the tools and information necessary to succeed in their caregiving roles.

The event is open to Veterans, caregivers, family members, military retirees, survivors, and members of the public interested in learning more about available support programs.

Healthcare leaders emphasize that caregivers often serve as a critical component of a Veteran's healthcare team, helping manage appointments, medications, transportation, and daily living needs. Events such as the Caregiver Resource Fair provide opportunities for networking, education, and collaboration among those dedicated to Veteran care.

As military and Veteran healthcare systems continue adapting to evolving demographic and healthcare challenges, caregiver support programs remain a key component of the VA's broader mission to improve outcomes for Veterans and their families.

Attendees are encouraged to RSVP by scanning the QR code provided on official event materials distributed by CAVHCS.

For Veterans and caregivers across Central Alabama, the June 26 event offers an opportunity to connect with resources, build support networks, and gain valuable information designed to strengthen both caregiver resilience and Veteran well-being.
