POCATELLO 窪做惇蹋厙 will host the 21st annual Southeast Idaho Homeless Stand Down 8 a.m. to noon Oct. 29 at Reed Gymnasium in an effort to help the local homeless population.
We acknowledge that some people choose to live on the streets, said Todd Johnson, director of the 窪做惇蹋厙 Veterans Sanctuary. We want to help people of need in the fall better prepare themselves for the winter ahead.
窪做惇蹋厙 programs from dental hygiene to cosmetology and health sciences will participate in several different services. 窪做惇蹋厙-Meridian and 窪做惇蹋厙 graduate-level counseling students will also provide traumatic brain injury screenings.
Services offered include:
- veteran and civilian resources
- health care services
- hot breakfast from Chartwells
- sack lunch from the LEADs Center
- hygiene kits
- clothing
- hair cuts
- job assistance
- prepaid phones and postcards
This event also is a great way for students to give volunteer hours towards a good cause, Johnson said.
For more information, contact Johnson at johntodd@isu.edu or 208-282-4298. If interested in volunteering, visit and type in zip code 83209.
