Overview

Mission

Our mission is ensuring veterans maintain a self-sustaining standard of living. Our primary goal is to connect veterans with existing resources, with the secondary goal of creating solutions if no resources are available. We monitor the veteran's progress and are committed to long-term support, rather than just temporary fixes. Furthermore, we have to address the critical issue of veteran suicides and the need to fill the void in serving veterans effectively. While emphasizing the importance of understanding veteran's challenges and addressing underlying issues such as financial and mental health struggles.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Home Remodel and Repair Program helped several veterans that were living in terrible conditions when we were contacted such as living for several years without running water and floors that were completed rotted and falled to the ground. We also built wheel chair ramps, replaced porch railings, and established safe living conditions for 3 of the veterans. We have arranged with contractors to use their access materials to install in veteran's homes so that our services are completely free to the veterans we serve.
