We are having a Stand Down and could use your help to get the information out to the public. The Stand Down will be in Warrenton Missouri at the Holy Rosary Activity Center, located at 716 East Booneslick. If there are veterans that would like to attend, but need transportation, I have drivers available to pick them up. Here's a little information about my Stand Down.

> What happens at a Stand Down?
>
> Stand Down will be held November 19, 2011 from 6:30am til 4 pm. Hundreds of homeless veterans will be provided a wide range of necessities including:
> They will be greeted with respect and open arms
> They will be offered breakfast and coffee and fresh fruit
>
> The VA and EDD will assist with registration
>
> Their immediate physical needs will be addressed.
> A visit to the clothing tent
> Showers
> Barbers
> Medical
> Dental
> There are the many other services:
> Homeless court
> Counseling
> Veterans benefits
> Employment and job counseling services
> Recovery providers
> Shelters
> Chaplains services
> 12-step meetings for everyone
> And last but not least meals prepared by VFW, American Legion, Riders, Community Volunteers and supported by God Cares, Holy Rosary, Missouri Career Center Warrenton, and the American LEgion Post 122.
>
> Perhaps most important of all is the feeling of safety. For the first time in possibly days, weeks or even months our homeless brothers and sisters can leave their possessions in the care of others and rest.
>
> Stand Down is a place of miracles. Lives are changed and lives are saved. The founders of Stand Down had a dream. They made it a reality, one which continues to offer a true stand down for all homeless veterans.
>
> Who organizes and delivers these services?
> Thousands of caring volunteers and professionals give their time and expertise to address the unique needs homeless veterans.
>
>
> I would love for veterans in Warren, Lincoln, Montgomery, and St. Charles County to take advantage of this day. There are not many resources in this area for the hurting, hungry and homeless.
>
> If there are any doctors that would like to donate their time to assist with this event, please contact Kia at (636) 697- 7620.
