WHAT IS A STAND DOWN?
Veterans who served in a conflict may remember the stand downs overseas when they
pulled back, cleaned up, regrouped and were able to get some rest. Stand Downs were two-day “time-out” periods when soldiers came off the battlefield and into a safe place.
Our stand down will be for 2 days. medical exams. clean clothes, decent food, entertainment, and companionship.
The hope is that while participating in a stand down, the veterans will get help to come in
from the streets permanently.
Knowing that they are helping homeless veterans provides the volunteers with a sense of self satisfaction. It renews the pride of service many of the homeless veterans may have lost sight of.
