Next week the Kent County Veterans Services will host veterans, vendors, and volunteers at its fourth annual Homeless Veteran Stand Down.It’s a gathering in partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
It’s a free event open to all Kent County veterans and will provide access to food, clothing and health screenings.
Ryan Grams, Director of Kent County Veterans Services says, “Kent County is deeply committed to supporting our veterans, especially those who are most vulnerable,” adding, “Our veterans have dedicated themselves to serving our country, and it’s our duty and privilege to provide them with the resources and assistance they need."
This year’s event will feature more than 45 vendors, offering resources such as benefit claims assistance, health care, housing solutions, mental health counseling and more.
Last year, more than 100 veterans were served, and organizers hope to reach even more this year.
It will be held at the Veterans Services building on Bradford NE.
