A Stand Down was a time away from the battlefield whereby soldiers could rest from combat and take care of personal hygiene, enjoy warm meals, receive medical and dental care, and enjoy the camaraderie of battle buddies in a safe environment. Today a Stand Down refers to a community-based intervention to connect homeless and indigent Veterans with housing and other resources. In recent years, Stand Downs have grown to be a huge resource fair for all Veterans and military members, homeless or not.
The Howard County Stand Down will provide the following services free of charge:
- VA & State benefits
- IN State Veteran Affairs
- Food and Clothing referrals
- Mental health screenings and referrals
- Job and financial assistance
