The Homeless Resource Fair, formerly known as the Stand Down, is a one-day event that links homeless individuals and families with community resources. This year’s event will be held on Saturday November 13, 2010 and it will provide attendees with medical services, referrals to social service agencies, legal assistance, haircuts, food, and much more.
