The annual Operation Stand Down Benefit Concert will be from 6 – 9 p.m. Friday, April 24, at The Concourse in Shady Hills. $10 | Free for veterans.
The event continues for veterans on Saturday, April 25.
Operation Stand Down is a weekend event offered once a year to honor the service and sacrifice of all veterans. We place a special emphasis on reaching the homeless and at-risk veterans in our community to connect them to the resources available that will help rebuild their lives, restore hope, and pave the way to a brighter future.
Each year, we welcome over 500 veterans who meet with vendors and utilize services. In 2025, the support of our sponsors helped us to provide:
- 143 veterans with dental services (extractions, fillings, cleanings, dentures),
- 92 veterans received medical screenings, 35 vision screenings, and 9 urgent care cases were handled
- 59 veterans received acupuncture, 22 cold laser therapy, 15 chiropractic, 20 cryotherapy
- 61 court cases were heard, $45,999.81 in fines and fees cleared
- 12 veterans got their licenses restored
- 175 veterans participated in workshops focusing on Whole Health and mental health.
After the Stand Down is over, your financial support continues to provide ongoing care at our Veterans Support Center, where we provide year-round comprehensive support, compassionate care, and sustainable solutions to help the veterans reclaim their lives and reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose.
