Stand Down 2022


The North Florida Stand Down 2022 was held May 6-7, 2022, at the Al Lawson Multi- Purpose Center at Florida A&M University and served three hundred and three (303) homeless and at-risk veterans; the majority were at-risk veterans. The event was successful due to the collaborative efforts of all parties involved. There were more than sixty-five (65) agencies/service providers and more than 200 hundred persons who volunteered and participated/assisted in this venture. TVO is appreciative of all those sponsors, organizations and volunteers that generously gave to help defray the cost of hosting Stand Down for Veterans. Overall, TVO and partners were able to provide many needed services to our honored Veterans and heighten the awareness of the challenges that many of those Veterans continually encounter.
