Veterans Council-web 2 

The formation of the Downey Veterans Council was approved by the Downey City Council on March 9, 2021. 

The goal of the Veterans Council is to engage the local Veteran community by:

  • Increasing awareness and recognition of Downey Veterans and service members;
  • Sharing information pertaining to resources and services available to support local Veterans;
  • Providing networking opportunities among members; and
  • When appropriate, assist the City with its Veteran programs/events such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies.
Meetings

The Downey Veterans Council meets regularly, and meetings are open to all local Downey Veteran groups and residents. 

The next meeting will take place on October 10, 2024. Location: Downey City Library, Cormack Room.
