Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email ahari.at.work@gmail.com, or send a General Inquiry through the Send a Message form on the Contact Us page, to ask how to volunteer at the next Veteran Stand Down..
What to expect
The 2026 event was set for 10 am to 6:30 pm at the Philadelphia Convention Center, with screenings, legal and benefits help, meals, clothing, and referrals for veterans. The site does not list specific volunteer roles, so ask which jobs need help before you come.
Tips for your first visit
- Ask by email about volunteer roles and arrival time, since the site does not post them.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The 2026 Stand Down sign-up was posted, but that date has passed and the site lists no later date or volunteer steps, so the way in is unclear beyond contacting the office..
