Pinal County’s Eagle One brings services to veterans.
Florence, Arizona – Honoring/Hiring/Helping Our Heroes of Pinal County (HOHP) is hosting Pinal County’s 5th Annual Pinal County Veteran Stand Down April 15, 2017. Local service providers will offer Veterans haircuts, health screenings, legal assistance, emergency housing options, employment support services, vision screening, as well as food stamps, VA and Social Security benefits, Child Support Info, Pinal County court issue review and much more!!
In military active service, a Stand Down is a necessary mental and physical break from combat. Military personnel spend a few days in a safe place to rest and recuperate before returning to frontlines. For the Pinal County Veterans Stand Down it is a safe place to go and access services that the Veteran and their family may need. The event also educates Veterans on services that are available to them that they might not be aware of.
This year the committee has added a special area for OUR female Veterans. Even though all services will be available to them an area will be dedicated to honor and serve them!!
The Stand Down also aims to reach as many homeless Veterans and Veterans at risk of becoming homeless as possible, connecting them to services that will allow them to get on the path to self-sufficiency.
