Back to School Water Park Bash Gives Back to Local Veterans

Celebrate the end of summer while helping a worthy cause and join Operation Stand Down: No Veteran Left Behind at this year's back to school bash at Point Mallard Park in Decatur. 

We will be collecting donations such as personal care items, toiletries, underwear, socks, t-shirts, and nonperishable foods to go to Operation Stand Down: No Veteran Left Behind. According to local officials, it is estimated there are nearly 1,000 homeless people in North Alabama and approximately 30% of these being homeless or displaced veterans. Operation Stand Down: No Veteran Left Behind believes that no veteran should be homeless; No veteran who wants to work should be jobless; No veteran should feel hopeless; and No veteran will be left behind.
