Loychik encourages veterans service organizations to apply for grant

COLUMBUS — State Rep. Mike Loychik, R-Bazetta, is encouraging chartered veterans service organizations to apply for the Veterans Post COVID Safety Grant to help them operate safely during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The pandemic continues to impact our communities, and I want to financially assist our veterans facilities so that they can curb the spread of COVID-19," Loychik said in a news release.

Under the initiative, each active veterans post is eligible for a $5,000 grant to assist in operating safely during the pandemic. The grant is meant to aid in costs for supporting increased sanitation, maintaining social distancing and purchasing personal protective equipment, as well as other costs to adhere to public health orders. The grants are for costs incurred for pandemic purposes since March 1, 2020.
