The Veterans Stand Down is a free, one-day event dedicated to honoring local veterans by connecting them with vital resources, services, and community support in a single, welcoming location.

· Health and wellness resources

· Housing and social services support

· Free haircuts for Veterans

· Community-based organizations and service providers

· Food, giveaways, and on-site assistance

The Stand Down model is designed to reduce barriers for veterans by offering coordinated, respectful, and veteran-centered support.

“This event is about more than services—it is about dignity, gratitude, and ensuring that our veterans know their community stands with them,” said Glenn County Supervisor Monica Rossman. “Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, we are so very proud to continue this important tradition for a second year” said Glenn County Supervisor and U.S. Marine Corp Veteran, Jim Yoder. The Second Annual Veterans Stand Down is made possible through the generous support of community partners and sponsors. Glenn County HHSA extends special thanks to this year’s Gold Sponsors, including Thunderhill Raceway Park, Johns Manville, Masters Gallery, and Vesper Lodge #84 (Free and Accepted Masons of Red Bluff), whose contributions help ensure the event remains accessible and impactful.

The event is open to all veterans at no cost. No pre-registration is required.
