Veteran Services

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

The Littleton Department of Veterans' Services is established according to Massachusetts General Law (MGL) Chapter 115, Section 10 and is administered under state guidelines to provide information, advice, and assistance to veterans, veteran's dependents, and widows and children of deceased veterans.

The Town of Littleton Department of Veterans Services serves as an advocate for all veterans and their dependents. 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.

If you are a veteran in need of services or information, my office hours are Monday and Thursday, 9 - 12 and by appointment any other time. You can reach me at 978-540-2485. If I am not available, please leave a message on the machine and I will return your call as soon as possible. If it is an emergency, please call 978-807-3856.
