2018 was our second year volunteering for Stand Down Madison. An event said to be a day of relief for for veterans experiencing or on the verge of homelessness. Part of the reason we love this even is because as part of the volunteer duties, you can chose to be a “buddy”. You get to show the veteran around to the pool of resources they may need, while listening to their stories.
Josh and and I have had such a great experience with this event. From the people that do all the behind the scenes work to the veterans themselves. It has given a new perspective on a population that we may otherwise never get to encounter at such personal level.
