Services offered for homeless vets

REVIEW-JOURNAL

The fourth annual Veterans Stand Down, sponsored by U.S. Vets, runs Wednesday through Friday at the Fraternal Order of Eagles No. 1213.

The three-day event brings together social service providers, elected officials and local businesses in an effort to help homeless veterans get off the street. Veterans also may use one of several mobile showers and take advantage of free legal and dental services.
