This Week's Events in Coeur d'Alene and Surrounds
North Idaho Veterans Stand Down
The 2016 North Idaho Veterans Stand Down will take place May 7th at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is the 23rd year of the Stand Down and serves as a kick off to a program created by St. Vincent de Paul to assist veterans and their families in the five northern counties with services throughout the year. It is an opportunity for the community to come together and show their appreciation to all veterans who have served their country. Service organizations that provide medical, dental, housing, clothing, clothing repair, food assistance, haircuts, massages and bike repair will be available. Employers who have immediate openings will be taking applications. A hot meal will be served to all veterans, volunteers and service providers. There will be activities for the entire family. Military surplus will be available, but due to a new VA mandate it will only be distributed to homeless and disadvantaged veterans. For more information or veterans assistance call Eric Swanbeck, St. Vincent de Paul Veteran Services Coordinator at (208) 664-3095, ext. 314.
