A Veterans Stand Down is a community-based, grassroots event designed to help homeless/unhoused and at-risk Veterans by bringing them together in one location to receive a wide range of supplies, services, and support. Besides the sponsoring organizations, there are over 50 community partner organizations attending to provide the following services: Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, wellness checks, mental health support, dental check-ups, haircuts, employment assistance, financial counseling, recovery / addiction counseling, educational opportunities, peer support, insurance education, and gaming therapy. All Veterans participating in the Stand Down must be pre-registered at one of the following locations: LTHC, Lafayette Urban Ministry (LUM), Mental Health America (MHA) Wabash Valley Region, Mary T. Klinker Veteran Resource Center, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) West Central Indiana, the Outreach Advocacy Center, the West Lafayette Library, Valley Oaks, and the Social or Outreach teams at the Lafayette or West Lafayette Police Departments and The Tippecanoe County Sherrif’s Office. Registrations end October 15. The Resource Fair is free and open to the public to showcase our local Veteran Service Organizations and community partners working with Veterans daily. Don’t forget to set your clocks back 1-hour or you’ll be too early for the events!
