We Couldn’t Have Done It Without You!

All of us at Goodwill Southern California would like to express our sincere gratitude to every partner and volunteer that helped to make our first Veteran Stand Down a success. We were able to serve over 340 homeless and at-risk veterans at the two-day event.

With the help of many, we provided food, clothing, education, housing and employment information, haircuts and makeovers, care packages, health services, mental health counseling, access to support services, phones and email, yoga, tai chi, massage, art, music, books, pet care, children’s activities and more.

We were inspired by the overwhelming generosity of so many people, businesses and organizations. We were humbled by the courage and spirit of those we were able to serve. And we are looking forward to doing it all again in 2014. Thank you again for your support!
