Tell All Veterans About This Event
I met the most honest, caring, and upstanding non-profit named Operation Decisive Victory. So let me share is an awesome event with you. Stand Downs are typically one- to three-day events during which veteran organizations, VA staff, and other volunteers provide food, clothing, and health screenings to homeless and at-risk Veterans. Also, the veterans receive referrals for health care, housing solutions, employment, substance use treatment, mental health counseling, and other essential services.
Operation Decisive Victory’s specific goal with the Veteran Stand Down & Resource Fair is to gather community resources in one place where the veterans and their families can gain assistance and guidance on their needs. This will be the first stand-down of this size to be held in Cabarrus County, and they have received a commitment from over 10 nonprofits and local businesses to be in attendance at this Resource Fair – which includes federal and state agencies, and out of state organizations that are simply looking to be of service to the veteran community. At this event organizations will be providing our veteran, their families, and at-risk community members free food, clothing, hygiene items, haircut, and information on so many services available to them.
Any County/Community Programs, Small Businesses, or Local Nonprofits interested in participating can register on their website: Operation Decisive Victory. The great news is there will be no charge for vendor set up. Speedway Harley Davidson in Concord will not just be hosting this event, but also providing hot lunch for all visitors that day. While this event is focused on the homeless and at-risk veteran families in the County, everyone to welcome to join in on the fun!
Please Note: This will be an outdoor event. Proper spacing between vendors and guests will be maintained. However, being an outdoor event with ample room to maintain social distancing, masks may be discretionary. We ask that all vendors utilize measures they feel safe in using so long as it complies with the latest iteration of Executive Order No. 180 issued by the Governor of North Carolina.
