Veterans Services Department

Westford Veterans Services department for the Town of Westford is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense or any military service branch!

Mission Statement

The Town of Westford's Veterans Services Department's mission is to honor and serve veterans and their families. By serving as their principal advocate, we are ensuring that they receive the care, support and recognition earned in service to their country.

The department advises residents as to the availability of federal and state services and benefits to which they are entitled to. In addition, the department provides financial assistance to qualifying veterans, surviving spouses and their dependents.
