Veterans Stand Down
Greetings!
We look forward to seeing all of you at the 2023 Stand Down for Homeless Vets on Friday, Nov 17th from 10 am until 2 pm. We do ask that all Community Providers stay for the entire event. Please find attached a campus map to help guide you to the event location and parking.
Friday:
Please plan to arrive at the Milo Bail Student Center (#18 on the map) on Friday at UNO by 9:00 a.m. to sign-in and locate your table. Spaces are pre-assigned. Staff can assist you in locating your pre-assigned location. Please bring extension cords if you feel that you will need electricity. Outlets are not available in all areas.
Food:
We hope to be able to provide lunch for all in attendance, but we could run short depending on overall attendance. Other options for lunch include bringing your own, or purchasing lunch from the food court at the Milo Bale Student Center. There is also a convenience store downstairs on the first level of the Student Center.
Parking:
Free parking is provided in the East Parking Lot. Posted signs will direct you to the building if you are walking, and volunteers will be around to help direct you. There will also be government vehicles that will transport you should you choose not to walk from the parking garage. You may use all three levels of the East Parking Lot (#11 on the map). *There will be limited parking available for those who might have mobility needs in lots D and E, but please be mindful that these spaces are primarily reserved for our Veterans.
