San Bernardino County Veterans Affairs offers services in Barstow and Morongo Basin

Veterans in Barstow and surrounding communities now have an opportunity to meet with a Veteran Service Officer every month.

The San Bernardino County Departments of Veterans Affairs and Aging and Adult Services-Public Guardian have partnered to bring vital veteran services to Barstow.

In addition to Barstow, County VA provides assistance to Morongo Basin veterans on the second Wednesday of every month at the Joshua Tree Courthouse from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
