Nearly 100 homeless veterans attended our Stand Down at The Vortex in Los Angeles on May 6th where they received free and confidential medical exams, eligibility screening, shelter/housing referrals, substance abuse treatment, mental health consultations and haircuts from 20 providers. Veterans were also fed two meals and given clothing and hygiene products. The Stand Down was presented by The Veterans Project, Dramastage-Qumran, Robey Theatre Company and The Vortex.
