The New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs along with New Jersey National Guard soldiers and airmen and the Stand Down of South Jersey Committee, Inc. co-hosted Stand Down 2012 at the National Guard Armory in Cherry Hill to provide homeless veterans with access to healthcare, mental health screening, substance abuse counseling, social services - food stamps and unemployment, legal services, religious counseling, a hot meal, a haircut and winter clothing on Sept. 28, 2012. Since 1996, the South Jersey Stand Down has served as a catalyst that enables homeless veterans to re-enter mainstream society. Stand Down is a military term referring to exhausted combat units that were removed from the battlefront to a place of security and safety for rest and recovery. Today, Stand Downs are grass roots, community-based intervention program to help veterans battle life on the streets.
