Atlas Research Supports Winterhaven Event for DC Area Homeless Veterans

January 30, 2016

Atlas Research volunteers were on hand this morning for the annual Winterhaven Homeless Stand Down event at the Washington, DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC).

The event offered health screenings, housing and employment counseling, dental exams, free food, and clothing to homeless and at-risk Veterans from the Washington, DC area. Atlas staff assisted with registration, wayfinding, and materials distribution. In addition to volunteers, Atlas also provided the identification shirts worn by volunteers.  

Winterhaven is supported by more than 70 government and community groups in the Washington, DC area. It is a part of a proactive and multifaceted U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) initiative to end Veteran homelessness.
