Do you have gently used jeans, jackets, hoodies, or other clothing for men and women or blankets to donate? Gently worn jeans, boots, tennis shoes in all sizes, are the most needed. Also new t-shirts, socks and boxers for this wonderful annual event.
The past seven years Palomar friends Jim and Teresa McCarthy, have volunteered at the North County Veterans Stand Down. Teresa is on of the smiling faces, at the Hospitality Booth, greeting Vets as they arrive and distribute much appreciated clothing and toiletries. Jim pickups up vets at train stations, Brother Beno’s, and other shelters around the county as Vets travel from all over the US to the largest Stand Down. Jim also drives attendees to dentist and doctor appointments and will be a one-on-one ‘Battle Buddy’ this year.
You are invited to drop off any donations at their cabin on Crestline with the Yellow Door, or our place on State Park Road.
The event starts next Thursday and runs through Sunday, October 17th to the 20th. Three meals a day are provided for all. Would YOU like to help at the event? It’s a lot of fun and the more volunteers we have, the better. Such a great experience for all. Everyone who comes through, is so thankful and says this event is the best they have ever been to. So many people have their lives totally changed through this weekend. Come on out and be a part of it!
Thanks to all from Teresa and Jim and their son, Phillip who is one of the wonderful success stories from the program.
