The G.I. Go Fund
Where Veterans Go Forward
News
The G.I. GO Fund has opened its Transition Center in
Newark to help veterans in the area with their everyday
struggles, assisting our nation’s heroes with whatever
they need to live their lives with honor.
The G.I. GO Fund Transition Center, which is the first
of its kind in the nation, offers veterans a unique form
of aide, helping them with anything from financial
assistance to enrollment in the VA healthcare system.
“For decades, veterans have had little access beyond the VA to assistance for their day to day struggles,”
said G.I. GO Vice President Alexander Manis. “It has always been a difficult task to give veterans the
assistance they need because they have never had a place of their own to go to receive it. The VA healthcare
system does a great job with giving the veterans that come through its doors what they need, but the recent
years have shown that our soldiers need more. Our Transition Center has provided and will continue to
provide for all the help our men and women need.”

The G.I. Go Fund and the Northern New Jersey Stand Down Committee organized the annual “Stand
Down” event on October 18, 2008 at the Newark Recreational Center for hundreds of homeless veterans.
The Stand Down is an event held to give veterans without a home essential items to help improve their
livelihood, as well as provide opportunities for them to receive assistance from the VA. The event has been
an annual tradition for over 20 years, with the Stand Down Committee having worked tirelessly over these
years to help get veterans off the streets.
Representing the city of Newark, G.I. Go worked with the Stand Down Committe to provide these veterans
an opportunity to better their situations, both in the short and long term.
“Every year, the Stand Down Committee does tremendous work in the effort to get homeless veterans off
the street,” said G.I. Go Vice President Alexander Manis. “We are glad to help out any way we can.”
