Heitkamp’s staff is hosting the event in conjunction with the Grand Forks Job Service and Military Outreach offices and the Spirit Lake Veterans Service Officer. During the session, veterans will be able to learn about opportunities to access resources related to federal and state veterans’ benefits, military records, mental health, retirement, financial issues, employment assistance, transportation, education and training, and housing assistance. “Across the state, ‘Heidi Helps’ sessions have enabled folks who don’t live near one of my state offices to get easy access to my staffers and resources – and I’m excited to now host a session specifically for veterans,” said Heitkamp. “North Dakotans and those in Native communities serve in the military at higher rates than the national average, and it’s our obligation to make sure we give them the benefits and services they’ve earned. Veterans in the area looking for assistance from my staff, local Veterans Service Officers, and Job Service and Military Outreach offices should stop by, no appointments necessary.” Heitkamp’s staff holds “Heidi Helps” sessions to better serve North Dakotans who don’t live near one of her five state offices in Bismarck, Dickinson, Fargo, Grand Forks, and Minot. The sessions are held in temporary locations for a few hours to help Heitkamp and her staff guarantee they’re as accessible and helpful as possible to communities all across North Dakota. Past sessions have been held in Wahpeton, Bottineau, New Rockford, Lisbon, Jamestown, and Langdon. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
