Operation Stand Down Nashville

Operation Stand Down (OSDN) assists homeless veterans in and around the greater Nashville area in getting clean and sober, finding employment and housing, and re-entering society as a productive and participating member.

We operate on grants and donations. 84 cents of every dollar goes toward veteran assistance and we are always grateful for any assistance the community provides us.

Donating to Operation Stand Down Nashville is easy! Anyone can go to Giving Matters and look at information on Operation Stand Down Nashville, then make their donation. We also take clothing and household items in good, usable shape.

Please, watch as much of it as you can stand, then call your representatives and ask them to get something done about healthcare in this country. That people suffer like this in the richest, most advanced country in the world is beyond a travesty...
