The Delaware County Commerce Center’s Veteran ID Discount Program is relaunching an expanded version that includes active duty military members, writes Justin Udo for KYW Newsradio.
The special program that helps veterans save money on day-to-day purchases has over 50 participating businesses throughout the county. As part of the program, vets and active duty military members receive up to 15 percent in discounts on various services.
To access the discounts, active duty military need to show their military ID, while veterans can present their county-issued veterans card, a veterans healthcare card, or a department of veterans affairs card.
Alyssa Mehalick, deputy director at the center, hopes to see even more businesses to participate in the program in the future.
“We’d not only like to expand that number, but expand the variety of industries that participate in the program, so we can provide maximum benefits to our actively serving and veteran populations,” she said.
Currently, the businesses range from coffee shops to repair services.
In addition to benefiting veterans and active military service members, the program is “also a great way from the commerce center perspective to boost our local economy to strengthen businesses,” said Mehalick.
