You are welcome here.


Every veteran, regardless of age, gender, creed, or need, is welcome to come to St. Cloud StandDown. Monday through Thursday, 10 AM – 2 PM, we have Veterans and volunteers here who are willing to listen to you, chat with you, or provide advice.


Our goal is to be the resource you need. The VA can heal you, but we can get your boots on the ground afterward. We’re your first stop for:


  • dry socks
  • a warm shower
  • a pair of boots
  • a path to an apartment or homeownership,
  • advice on where to find work,
  • mentoring,
  • meeting space,
  • haircut,
  • camaraderie.


We help hundreds of Veterans every year. We’ve been here since 1998. If you need help, we’ll always be here – for you.
