This fund  allows us to assist homeless veterans that may not be able to provide for themselves, that may need a warm meal or a warm bed for the night, a clean outfit, to send care packages to the troops serving overseas protecting our freedom and other various community support.

Through our efforts we have been able to assist many Veterans with housing, household items and needs to move forward in life.  We are able to do what we do through the generosity of our community support from storage unites, furnishings and monetary donations to provide much needed support.  Our foundation has been able to assist many Veterans through the years of operation.

We also provide moral, emotional support and guidance to those that need direction.

Without the support of our community what we do for our Veterans would not be possible.
