The 10th Annual Veterans Stand Down was a great success This week, on March 27 & 28, 2013, a total of 128 agencies and over 500 volunteers came together for the 10th annual Veterans Stand Down to assist homeless and at-risk veterans in Las Vegas. The event facilitated long-term solutions and brought veterans much-needed resources and opportunities to help them regain independence. The event was held Cashman Center, which proved to be a great new venue for the event!  It was a memorable two days filled with success stories.  A full post-event report will be shared as soon as possible.   Until then, U.S.VETS is proud to announce the following results: A total of 911 veterans were served!  (A significant increase from 619 veterans in 2012.) 16 homeless veterans were housed direct from the Stand Down! 86 potential future housing appointments were made! 17 veterans got hired on-the-spot at Stand Down! Special thanks to everyone who made the event possible.  Thank you all for joining U.S.VETS in "serving those who served."  We look forward to posting the full post-event report on our website at www.usvetsinc.org.
