"Stand Down" is a military term originating from times of war when exhausted combat troops were given the opportunity to return to a place of relative security to rest and recover. Today, "Stand Downs" have become a common way to refer to events that advocate for homeless veterans. Like a soldier in combat, our homeless veterans must face battles every day, including unemployment, emotional and physical difficulties, substance abuse and a lack of shelter.
We encourage you to donate and/or volunteer for this year's Stand Down and show our veterans that we have not forgotten them in their time of need.
To learn more about what is most needed for donation (like sewing kits, clothing, diapers, pocket bibles, backpacks, etc) and other ways you can help, please visit the Veterans Integration Center website.
This event is made possible by many partners and sponsors, lead by:
