On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, Lantern Residences is honored to participate as a vendor at the Charleston Veteran Stand Down for Homelessness, held at the Charleston Area Convention Center (Exhibit Halls B & C, 5001 Coliseum Drive, North Charleston) from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

This annual event, coordinated by local veteran service organizations and community partners, brings together critical resources for veterans in need. Attendees can access housing assistance, VA benefits enrollment, medical screenings, employment opportunities, haircuts, warm meals, and essential supplies—all under one roof and free of charge.
