Stand Downs - October 4, 2013 - Dover, DE
"Stand Downs are just one part of the Department of Veterans Affairs' efforts to provide services to homeless Veterans. Stand Downs are typically one to three day events providing services to homeless Veterans such as food, shelter, clothing, health screenings, VA and Social Security benefits counseling, and referrals to a variety of other necessary services, such as health care, housing, employment, and substance use treatment. Stand Downs are collaborative events, coordinated between local VAs, other government agencies, and community agencies serving the homeless."
Operation Success was held in Dover, Delaware on Thursday April 18, 2013. Wilmington University partnered with the United States Chamber of Commerce for this event. Employers interviewed candidates; workshops related to job hunting were offered.
