The Women Veterans Resource Fair – Tampa Bay 2026 is a dedicated event for female veterans in the greater Tampa Bay area, providing access to a wide range of benefits, services, health resources, and community connections in a welcoming, women-centered environment. Held April 25, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital Community Room in Tampa, Florida, this resource fair brings together VA programs, nonprofit organizations, healthcare providers, and career services under one roof — specifically for women who've served.
Women are the fastest-growing segment of the veteran population, yet they remain significantly underserved by traditional veteran programming. Too many female veterans don't know what benefits they've earned, don't feel comfortable in veteran spaces designed primarily for men, and lack access to gender-specific health and wellness services. This resource fair directly addresses all of those gaps.
Attendees can connect with representatives from the Women Veterans Program at James A. Haley, VA education and benefits specialists, mental health and MST (military sexual trauma) counseling services, women's health and OB/GYN care at the VA, entrepreneurship and small business resources for women veterans, veteran-friendly employers with open positions, and peer support networks and women veteran groups throughout the region.
The atmosphere is supportive, empowering, and celebratory — because every woman who raised her right hand and served this country deserves to be recognized, resourced, and connected. Light refreshments are provided. The event is free and open to all women veterans regardless of discharge status or era of service.
James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital is one of the nation's leading VA medical centers, and this event reflects their commitment to serving every veteran who walks through their doors. Come ready to learn, connect, and access the benefits you've earned.
