Stand Down Event to Support Homeless Veterans

Homeless veterans can get support of all sorts next week at an annual county event planned just for them.

During the three-day, two-night Ventura County Stand Down veterans will live in military-style tents, have access to shower facilities, toiletries, new and used clean clothing and hot meals each day. 

As well, a variety of public and private agencies will offer services ranging from medical treatment, legal advice, employment counseling, drug and alcohol counseling and VA services. Information about transitional housing, general relief and other government and social services.

Now in it's 21st year, Ventura County Stand Down will take place July 26-28 at the California Army National Guard armory in Ventura at 1270 Arundell Ave. 

Veterans can register online for the event to help facilitate their entrance once there.
