Seattle Stand Down 9/15 SCCC


If you or someone you know is veteran and are homeless or at risk of homelessness, I want to let you know about the Seattle Stand Down next Thursday September 15th. Homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families will be offered a “hand up” with a variety of services provided at the first annual Seattle Stand Down on September 15th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Mitchell Activity Center on the campus of Seattle Central Community College, at 1718 Broadway.

Seattle Stand Down will provide many services such as medical and dental care, legal aid, employment services, housing resources, alcohol and drug counseling referrals, plus haircuts, showers, and personal hygiene items, free lunch and Community Voice Mail. Nearly 100 volunteers, including Seattle Mariner employees and the Moose, will be assisting throughout the day. Community partners include Seattle Central Community College, Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs, King County Veterans, United Way, Veterans of Foreign Wars and many other agencies and organizations.

That’s the Seattle Stand Down, next Thursday the 15th from 9 to 3 at The Seattle Central Community College Mitchell Activity Center at 1718 Broadway. Free parking will be available in the Harvard Garage, corner of E. Pine and Harvard. For more information, please call 206.934.5417 or visit seattlestanddown.com.
