We recently received this invitation to volunteer for the South Bay Stand Down event on September 8,9, and 10:

My name is Yoko Galbraith and I am the South Bay Stand Down Volunteer Coordinator at the Department of Veterans Affairs in Menlo Park. The Palo Alto VA Health Care System, Counties and local community organizations are hosting the South Bay Stand Down on September 8th, 9th and 10th at the Boulder Creek Scout Reservation. Stand Down is a multiple day event providing services to homeless veterans. We are anticipating 200 veterans to participate in this event and are asking for volunteers to help create an opportunity for homeless veterans to access available resources and to reduce some of the barriers that have kept them homeless. Volunteers may work single or multiple shifts on Saturday and Sunday (8-12pm, 12-4pm, 4-8pm) and on Monday (7-11am or 10-4pm). We will provide transportation to and from the event site several times per day for volunteers who do not wish to drive themselves. If you are interested in volunteering at the event, or would like more information about Stand Down, please contact me at (650) 493-5000, ext. 22445, or the South Bay Stand Down hotline (650) 804-1794. I will get your name, contact information, the shifts for which you are interested in volunteering, and whether you will need transportation. Thank you for helping homeless veterans and God bless you.

Best regards,

Yoko Galbraith

South Bay Stand Down Volunteer Coordinator
