Although the turnout wasn’t as high as hoped for at their pancake breakfast at Applebees on Saturday morning, Operation Stand Down Central Texas director Joann Courtland said every bit helps.

 

The fundraiser was one of the more recent endeavors by the group which focuses on helping homeless veterans in the Fort Hood area. The group’s volunteers also had a space during Rabbit Fest, at which they attempted to get the word out about what they do.

 

Courtland, who started the group along with her mother, Trudy Bolton, said the number of volunteers has grown from the first few.
