One Community Now holds an annual event all about supporting local veterans that are in need throughout Pasco County. Operation Stand Down is a time for the community to connect with our homeless and at risk veterans to help break down the barriers that are keeping these heroes on the streets. The "hand up, not a handout" philosophy of Stand Down requires the work of countless volunteers, businesses, and local, state, and national organizations. Organizations are available to provide direct services (including medical, dental, legal, spiritual) to ensure Veterans are getting benefits they are entitles to and provide referrals for those struggling with mental healthier, unemployment, homelessness and addiction issues.
The Pasco Juniors put together 16 blessing bags for the women veterans who attended the event this year. Each bag was filled with essentials and hygiene products to make everyday living just a little easier.
