The Quincy Tri-State Homeless Veterans Stand Down is a collaboration of community partners in the Tri-State area. The Stand Down is similar to a resource fair with a mission to meet the immediate needs of homeless veterans and other veterans in need, while connecting them with employment and/or training, as well as hoursing resources and other continuing types of support. The event will be open to veterans in a 27-county area in Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa, and will involve a variety of giveaways, free food, and comradery with fellow veterans of all eras. Proof of military service must be provided (DD214, military ID, etc.). However, VA staff will be available to assist veterans in obtaining a DD214 if needed.
