Donations To St. Cloud StandDown

Every $1 donated to St. Cloud StandDown turns into $1.15 in products and services for Veterans in need. Since 1998, we have helped an average of 750 Veterans every year.


We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, so check with your tax accountant on charitable contribution deductions. We have donation receipts if you’d like one, just ask.


St. Cloud StandDown doesn’t take any taxpayer money at the city, county, state, or federal level – we are entirely donation-funded.


Through the estate of Clifford & Francine Beck, a generous gift was given to us – a campus for St. Cloud StandDown to work out of, rent- and mortgage-free. Clifford was a World War II and Korean War veteran. Clifford was a huge supporter of St. Cloud StandDown over the years. That’s why we’ve named our center after them – the Clifford Beck Veterans’ Resource Center. Thanks to this generous gift, we can make every donated dollar go further.


We value our community partners and the generous donations they provide to help all Veterans.


Cash Donations


If you’d like to make a cash or check donation, we welcome you to stop by Monday – Thursday between 10 AM – 2 PM. You can also mail it in, but we’d love to meet you and say thanks.


Clothing Donations


We do also accept men’s and women’s lightly used and laundered clothing donations which can also be dropped off during our open hours. Please no furniture, electronics , medical equipment, or children’s clothes because we simply just don’t have the space to store these items.
