The Sgt. 1st Class Robert H. Yancey Sr. Stand Down of South Jersey Stand Down successfully completed its 27th year on 22 September 2023. 

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 nearly 150 volunteers, medical personnel from the VA, the NJ Dept of Military and Veterans Affairs and the NG National Guard member, our 28 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.
