The 10th Annual North Florida Stand Down to help unhoused and at-risk military vets happened in Tallahassee over the weekend. The event was open to anyone connected to a veteran in need or who had passed away.<\/p>\n

Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey stopped by to speak with the vets and hear their stories.<\/p>\n

“It’s great to see all of the local service providers that are out and love that FAMU opens up the Lawson Center to host us.”<\/p>\n

Legal Services of North Florida was just one of dozens of service providers, offering help from attorneys like Abigail Chapman.<\/p>\n

“In fact, if we get an application and we’re unable to help, you’re still going to get a referral to some organization in the area that can help.”<\/p>\n

And Stand Down Founder Washington Sanchez said for the first time, services were offered to some non-vets.<\/p>\n

“We have the Gold Star Mothers and widows invited to come and find out their benefits, especially through the Veterans’ Services Officer and something called ‘D.I.C.'”<\/p>\n

Despite the recent surge in overall homelessness, Sanchez said the local number of unhoused vets has actually decreased over the past ten years. <\/p>\n
