Support National Stand DownIn 1988, Robert Van Keuren was VVSD's Executive Director and Dr. Jon Nachison the VVSD Clinical Director. They decided to create a Stand Down for homeless veterans and integrate, at one site, veteran services which were scattered throughout San Diego County.Today the need is greater than ever.

Veterans Village of San Diego and mail to 4141 Pacific Highway, San Diego, California 92110. Stand Down started in 1988 with the basic premise that it would be a community intervention encouraging wide participation among service providers, both veteran specific and general. The dream became a reality and more. Each year since the first, Stand Down has grown and been refined to meet the needs of our homeless veterans. Today, many years from when the first homeless walked on the field, we have over 150 organizations/agencies and more than 3,000 volunteers from all walks of life that make Stand Down possible. |
