Since 1993, Operation Stand Down’s “A Hand Up not A Handout” approach encapsulates their treatment of the “total veteran.” Experienced Case Managers, work one on one with the veteran to develop individual treatment plans, and coordinate the provision of services in the areas of housing, employment & training, and health & wellness. Operation Stand Down’s goal is to provide the support mechanism which allows the veteran to work towards their own independence and success.
Their case workers and veterans work hand in hand to ensure physical and psycho-social stabilization. Comprehensive service plans address development of life skills in areas including coping, communication, conflict resolution; and skills that aid in recovery from acute adversity such as job loss, substance abuse, PTSD, or mental illness.

Over $1,300 and 50 articles of clothing were donated. Thank you to all who participated - your generosity and support do not go unnoticed.
