On Saturday, June 8th, 2013, the first annual South King County  Stand Down & Veteran Families Resource Fair will take place at Green River Community College (in Auburn). This event supports Veterans from all backgrounds; including our at-risk and homeless veterans by providing resources and services such as employment & vocational resources and referrals, housing services, legal service referrals, medical and dental assistance, a great and lunch, and other social and human services.

We are asking you to stand with us and our veterans in 2013. We graciously invite you to take part in providing a hand up to our brothers and sisters in arms. It is our goal to reach those veterans who have stumbled and are in need of assistance to get back on their feet. Part of this effort will be to have female-veteran specific section that will focus on resources for women veterans. For more info please visit the site.
