Empowering veterans by providing comprehensive support, compassionate care, and sustainable solutions
to help them reclaim their lives and reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose.
Operation Stand Down
Restoring Hope. Rebuilding Lives. Honoring Those Who Served.
Operation Stand Down is One Community Now’s annual signature event dedicated to helping veterans experiencing homelessness, housing instability, financial hardship, unemployment, mental health challenges, or other barriers to stability.
For two days each year, healthcare providers, government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, faith-based organizations, and hundreds of volunteers come together to provide free, life-changing services—all in one location.
Veterans can access medical and dental care, Veterans Court, VA benefits assistance, housing resources, employment services, recovery support, legal assistance, clothing, food, transportation resources, and much more.
