What is a Stand Down Event?

Stand Down is a special event for veterans to provide camaraderie, food, clothing, medical services, counseling, and so much more.

For several years, Veterans Helping Veterans, a local non-profit, has hosted the Foothills Veterans Winter Stand Down in Caldwell County. The one-day event includes information, entertainment, a light breakfast, lunch, and more. Veterans from Caldwell, Alexander, Ashe, Avery, Burke, Catawba, McDowell, Watauga, Wilkes, and surrounding counties are invited to attend the annual event.

If you have questions about the Winter Stand Down event, please feel free to email us at winterstanddown@gmail.com.
