Setup will begin at noon, where we load up vehicles at our office in harlandale united methodist church, then set up at the gi forum at 1! Our entrance is on the right side of the church (if you are facing it) on w white road. We will then transport to 610 N. Main Ave., San Antonio, TX 78205, this year's location for the stand down.
It's that time of year again-where WVSA takes part in the Stand Down event hosted by the American GI Forum.
The American GI Forum's Veterans Stand Down is taking place on 8 November. This is on a Friday.
WVSA will be inside, in the event Women's Pavilion, handing out feminine hygiene products and other much needed items to the homeless/at risk women Veterans who are at this event. We will need a few folks on Thursday 7 Nov with transporting supplies from our WVSA office to the GI Forum, as well as with setting up for the event.
The Stand Down provides homeless Veterans access to the services of more than 50 community agencies that provide medical and dental services, hot food, clothing, medical exams, flu shots, haircuts, a community court, and a variety of supplies and information.
WVSA will be handing out feminine hygiene products and other much needed items to the homeless women Veterans who come through. This will take place in a women veteran only space (indoors). We will also share our supplies with non-vet women at the event!
Participating in the Stand Down not only provides WVSA members with another avenue for bonding, socializing, and networking with other community partners, but also offers homeless women Veterans a stepping stone of reconnection and camaraderie that leads to more profound service engagement and eventually into self-sufficiency.
