The VVSD Stand Down Resource Event is a transformative two-day outreach event that unites San Diego's community around a shared mission: ensuring every veteran has access to the services and support they have earned. More than 150 service providers, government agencies, nonprofits, and community organizations gather at the Ingram Plaza at Liberty Station Arts District to deliver critical resources in a dignified, welcoming, one-stop-shop environment. This year's event will again extend its reach to active-duty service members and their families, while continuing to serve unhoused and at-risk veterans. VVSD will provide safe overnight accommodation with free transportation to ensure access for all participants. Not only is it a transformative resource event for unhoused and at-risk veterans, it is also our signature annual fundraiser, with sponsorship dollars directly supporting both the Stand Down weekend and VVSD’s life-changing housing, treatment, and supportive programs for veterans and their families throughout the year. For sponsorship information, please contact standdown@vvsd.net Veterans Village of San Diego on Facebook / Instagram
