The fair was held at the Moreno Valley Public Library on Saturday, Sept. 27, beginning at 10 a.m. and running to about 1 p.m. The purpose of the grant was to build community awareness about the challenges veterans face when transitioning from active duty to civilian life. This fair provided information about programs and services from various veteran service centers, as well as speakers from Moreno Valley and Riverside County, including Mayor Pro Tem Baca and Council Member Stewart. "It was very nice, there were quite a few people here... and there were a lot more vendors than I thought would come," Head Librarian Loes Knutson added.

The following organizations/people were present and provided veterans services information: City of Moreno Valley Council, City of Moreno Valley Media Team, Community Action Partnership, Congressman Mark Takano, Corona Vet Center, Covered California, County of Riverside Supervisor Jeff Stone, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), Disabled Veterans, Employment Development Department (EDD), Habitat for Humanity, Homestrong USA, Legislative Team Member Corinne Daly-Awad, Lighthouse Social Services Center, Moreno Valley Unified School District, Patriot Guard Riders, Platt College, Riverside County Department of Social Services, Riverside County Department of Veterans Services, Riverside County Housing Authority, Riverside County Probation Department, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, Riverside National Cemetery, Salvation Army, U.S. Vets Initiative, VA Loma Linda Health Center, Val Verde Unified School District, U.S. Veterans Initiative, and VA Loma Linda Health Center.
