Homeless military veterans will benefit from the Veterans Transition Center of Monterey County's (VTC) Stand Down event, which will be held August 1-3 at the Fort Ord Motor Pool at 4499 Joe Lloyd Way in Seaside. "This is our way of offering these people who have sacrificed so much for our country a respite from their day-to-day lives," Terry Bare, executive director of the VTC told the Monterey Herald. The three day bi-annual event provides food, clothing, shelter and a wide variety of services ranging from medical and dental to legal and veterinary help (vets are welcome to bring their pets). Special housing will be available for women and their families, and the SPCA of Monterey County will be on hand to care for pets. The most recent census found that there are more than 1,000 homeless veterans in our county. Please support the VTC if you can.
