Veterans Resource Fair Coming To Fashion Centre At Pentagon City

ARLINGTON, VA — Fashion Centre at Pentagon City is hosting a Veterans Resource Fair on Saturday to support members of the armed forces.

Representatives from the Women’s Military Memorial, District Veteran Brain Trust, Military Children’s Six Foundation, the Stephen A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Easterseals and other military support organizations will be at the mall on Saturday to provide information about their services and answer questions about opportunities available for veterans.

During the resource fair, veterans who show their military ID at the Military Appreciation Kiosk on the center’s Metro Level can pick up a value pack to receive treats from participating vendors, including Auntie Anne’s, Häagen-Dazs, Stars and Stripes and Fashion Centre’s newest restaurant, Kong Dog.

The Veterans Resource Fair will take place at Fashion Centre at Pentagon City on Saturday, May 20 from noon to 5 p.m.

“Fashion Centre at Pentagon City is located just a short distance from some of our nation’s largest military bases and less than a mile from the Pentagon, so many of the shoppers we see on a daily basis are members of the military and their families,” Todd Jerscheid, Fashion Centre at Pentagon City’s director of marketing and business development, said in a statement.

"We wanted to take the entire month of May to show our support for our local heroes with even more community integration, giveaways and special events," Jerscheid said.

On Memorial Day weekend, Fashion Centre will offer special Military Spouse Appreciation giveaways. Active and retired military personnel and their families can visit the second level of Macy’s to receive a special military appreciation wristband.

Shoppers wearing the wristband will be entered into drawings to receive offers and giveaways, including complimentary makeovers and special discounts from Macy’s. Also, all shoppers with a military ID will receive a 10 percent discount on their entire purchase at checkout.
