Event sponsored by the nonprofit Treasure State Veterans Assistance Organization...
helps homeless veterans...
-Lori Hartford, chairs the annual event...
"We see a lot of PTSD that is at the root of their homelessness," Hartford said. That can be compounded by drug or alcohol addiction.
"If we don't intervene with that core issue, it's hard for them to get control of their lives," she said. "That's why we have so many counseling services here."
-Mike Erickson, a vet himself, is on the board...
"The idea isn't to give vets a handout, he said, it's to give them a hand up."
