Five Seasons Stand Down

The Five Seasons Stand Down connects homeless or near-homeless Veterans and non-Veterans to services that assist them in transitioning to community living.

On behalf of the Five Seasons Stand Down committee, our community, and our nation, we extend our deepest gratitude to all the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces.

Your courage, sacrifice, and dedication protect the freedoms we hold dear every day. Today, and every day, we honor your service and remember the sacrifices made by you and your families.

From all of us, thank you, and Happy Veterans Day

We are deeply thankful to the Iowa National Guard for joining us at the Five Seasons Stand Down 2025. Their team, alongside more than 70 community partners, helped connect veterans and community members with vital health, employment, and social resources.

Special thanks to the medics and service members who provided support throughout the day and to Sgt. Aaron Graber for helping kick things off with the national anthem.

A huge shoutout to Jason for capturing all the moments—swipe through the photos (link in the post) to see the incredible work, smiles, and community spirit that made this event possible.
