A special thank you to our incredible volunteers, including the San Diego Padres Volunteer Group and Patriot Pathway Club, as well as Orangetheory Fitness and StretchLab for helping make the day even more enjoyable for participants.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our Annual Clothing Drive last Friday! Because of the incredible generosity of our community, we collected a tremendous amount of clothing that will help stock the Clothing Tent at Stand Down 2026.

These donations will provide unhoused and at-risk veterans with essential clothing and warm items as they access critical resources and services during our 38th Annual Stand Down event.

We are also deeply grateful to our dedicated volunteers who gave their time and energy to collect, sort, and organize donations. Your commitment makes a meaningful difference in the lives of the Veterans we serve.❤️

In 1988, Vietnam Veterans of San Diego (now Veterans Village of San Diego) created the first Stand Down, launching a movement that now serves veterans across the country. For 38 years, we've remained committed to our vision of a future where no one is left behind.

Your donation helps provide food, housing, case management, mental health services, and critical support for Veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming unhoused.

🍽️ $30 feeds a veteran for one week
🏠 $160 provides housing and case management for one day

Every dollar makes a difference. Make a one-time gift or become a monthly donor and help us continue changing lives.
