Emergency Cold Weather Gear: We continue to provide outreach services to Veterans that are unsheltered throughout the year. If you are a Veteran in need of emergency cold weather gear please email us at info@theseattlestanddown.org Welcome Home Kits: These kits contain brand new household items, such as: dishes, glasses, pots & pans, silverware, mixing bowls, coffee maker, toaster, bath & kitchen towels. And if needed, a brand new twin size bed with linens! These are provided to Veterans being placed in stable housing.
For more information about any of our programs please contact: Rebecca Murch, Executive Director rmurch@theseattlestanddown.org
Our executive director's garage and car are filled with household items to deliver to our newly housed Veterans.
Volunteers at our 2020 Holiday Virtual Toy Store gift wrapping event. Over the course of three weekends, volunteers wrapped and distributed nearly 400 individual gifts!!
Through peer to peer social support and mentoring, a Veteran finds the same camaraderie once thought lost. Veterans were not alone in their time of service and should not have to be alone now.
The Seattle Stand Down is committed to assisting military Veterans and their families in every aspect of their transition from military to civilian life; whether they just became a Veteran or have been one for a long time.
The Seattle Stand Down provides a place where Veterans can have "one stop" access to various community and Veterans Affairs (federal, state and county) social services, focusing primarily on those veterans and families that are either homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless.
Keeping with the spirit of "Never Leave a Fallen Comrade Behind", the all volunteer leadership team is determined to do just that. In the fight to end Veteran homelessness, the leaders of the Seattle Stand Down are determined to "give a hand up, not a hand out" and to bring every Veteran in the Seattle area that is homeless or at-risk of homelessness safely "home."
