POCATELLO - The POW*MIA Awareness Rally Corp. now has a second annual event under its leadership, the Southeast Idaho Homeless Stand Down.

The Stand Down, in its 12th year, is hosted each year on one Saturday in October. During the four-hour event, those in need are offered services that include a hot breakfast, a bag lunch, clothing, medical check ups and even a chance to use a phone to call a family member or friend.
