Soldiers’ Angels: Stand Down Support for Our Veterans in Need
As World Homeless Day approaches on October 10, we’re reminded of the challenges faced by homeless and at-risk Veterans. Soldiers' Angels is dedicated to making a difference, especially during Stand Down events that provide essential resources for these heroes.
What Are Stand Downs?
Stand Downs are community events where homeless and at-risk Veterans receive food, clothing, hygiene items, and healthcare services in a safe environment. The term originated in the military, referring to secure areas where troops could rest and recharge.
How Soldiers’ Angels Helps
Soldiers' Angels actively supports Stand Downs nationwide. Our volunteers deliver non-perishable box lunches, hygiene kits, clothing, and more. Our Special Campaigns, like Warm Feet for Warriors and Operation: Warm Winter, directly contribute to these events.
In just the first two weeks of September, we served Veterans at Stand Downs in El Dorado County, California; Buffalo, New York; and Charleston, South Carolina providing meals and essential items to hundreds of Veterans as they prepare for colder months.
Join Us This World Homeless Day
On World Homeless Day, let’s remember the ongoing impact of Stand Downs. Soldiers’ Angels is committed to ensuring homeless and at-risk Veterans have access to essential resources throughout the year. Our programs, including food distributions, transportation services, and housing packs, help keep spirits high.
