** MTCC North West Montana Veterans Stand Down
 
 
 
Veterans Stand Down is located in Kalispell, MT and supplies monthly, holiday, and Stand Down food boxes to each qualifying family, taking into consideration family size, dietary needs, income level and often-limited cooking facilities. Almost 250 veteran households received a nutritional food box every month. Other services offered include Showers and Laundry facilities, Monthly Haircuts, Access to the Internet and Peer Counseling, Community Referrals for local services and Medical Equipment loans. The goal of the NW MT Veterans Stand Down Durable Medical Loan Program is to enhance services to veterans and their families by 75% and to ensure easy access to medical equipment. 365 veterans in the Flathead Valley live 150% below the poverty line. The Durable Medical Equipment loan program saves veterans and their families hundreds of dollars they do not have to spend both on insurance and out of pocket money by renting medical equipment. Over 850 individuals borrowed equipment in 2016 and the organization anticipates an increase in 2017.
