In collaboration with the Nebraska Department of Labor, VetSet Nebraska, and the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs, the Western Nebraska Community College Veterans Upward
Bound program will be hosting a Stand Down event for all area veterans.
The event, which returns to Scottsbluff a fifth straight year, will be held on May
9 from 5:30 until 7:30 p.m. and May 10 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the John N. Harms
Center low bays area on the WNCC Scottsbluff Campus. The local Stand Down is free
for all veterans and their family members in the area.
"There really is a bunch of different services that are offered here in the Panhandle,
and some that people may not know about," WNCC Military and Veterans Affairs Director
Chris Wolf said. "The Veterans Stand Down brings all of these services together in
one place so our veterans and their families can walk through and see exactly what
all they need."
Between 30 and 40 agencies are expected to attend the Scottsbluff Stand Down to provide
information on services available in the area for veterans and their families.
For questions regarding the Stand Down event, please contact Wolf at wolfc@wncc.edu
or 308-635-6042, or contact Jamison Hild at the VA Black Hills by calling 605-490-8587.
