A new nonprofit organization plans to open a drop-in center for veterans in Vancouver.
Vancouver chaplain and veterans’ advocate Ron Brandon, a former U.S. Marine who served in the Vietnam War, said the Clark County Veterans Assistance Center has rented space at 1305 Columbia St. in downtown.
Brandon said he and other volunteers plan on starting to set up the space March 1, with the goal of opening later in the month.
