Our Mission
To actively reach out to the homeless veterans in our community year-round; providing them a safe and welcoming environment. We specialize in a one-weekend-a-year event, where veterans receive meals, showers, clothing and personal hygiene items; medical and dental attention; spiritual advice; and learn about other life-improving services and opportunities that may be available through Federal, State, and Local agencies. |
In days gone by, soldiers weary from battle were afforded an opportunity to renew their spirit, health, and overall sense of well-being in what was known as a “Stand Down.” Today’s Stand Down Huntsville strives to do the same for those homeless veterans who “battle” the harshness of life on the streets.
Originating in San Diego, California in 1988, “Operation Stand Down” is a grassroots, community-based program designed to help the nation’s estimated 300,000 homeless veterans by providing access to community, state and federal resources. Stand Down Together Huntsville - non-profit 501(c)(3) - continues this mission by assisting the homeless veterans of our community.
