UAW Region 9A Veterans Committee Stand Down

On September 25, 2020, UAW Region 9A’s Veteran’s Committee participated in the Connecticut Veterans Stand Down.

The Stand Down is an annual event committed to helping Veterans by providing “one stop” access to a range of programs and services offered by state and federal agencies, veterans organizations, and community-based non-profits. Our Veterans Committee teamed up with Gemma Moran Food Bank and our siblings at UAW Local 571 Marine Draftsmen's Association (MDA) to provide food and a variety of snacks to CT’s Veterans. To promote social distancing the Stand Down was expanded from its usual one location to four Regional based locations to be able to service as many veterans as possible.

Thank you to all those who donated your time to help our veterans!
