The Ted Stevens International Airport North Terminal will be the site of this year’s Veteran Stand Down event in Anchorage on Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The annual event aims to support veterans in need by providing essential services and resources.
Veterans attending the event will have access to cold weather gear, hot meals, flu shots, community resources, and more. Various organizations, including VA participants like the Veterans Justice Outreach and HUD-VASH veterans supportive housing, will be on-site to offer assistance. Community participants such as Alaska Housing Finance Corp., Catholic Social Services, and the Alaska Department of Labor will also be present.
Veterans are encouraged to bring their proof of service (VA Medical ID or DD214) to access these services. The event is organized by Stand Down, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping veterans. For more information, veterans can contact Stand Down, Inc. via email at standdowninc@gmail.com.
