The Sgt. 1st Class Robert H. Yancey Sr. Stand Down of South Jersey Stand Down successfully completed its 28th year in September 2024. 

Our mission is oriented at providing healthcare, mental health screening, substance abuse counseling, social services, legal services, religious counseling, clothing, and lunch to our homeless veterans in South Jersey.   One hundred and twenty-eight veterans were assisted this year.

A special thank you to the continued support of our great volunteers, medical personnel from the VA, the NJ Dept of Military and Veterans Affairs and the NG National Guard members, and our service providers who provide the manpower annually to execute this event. 

We also thank all the personnel and organizations who provided monetary donations, food, and clothing to the Stand Down team.  Without these donations we would be unable to provide this most important service to our Veterans. 

Together, we are making a difference in the lives of those who have bravely served our country. With your dedication and compassion, we were able to help 158 veterans at the event, providing them with essential resources and assistance.
