Let's honor our veterans

Help local veterans by making a financial donation or donating furniture, household items, cleaning supplies, food or your time.  Every little bit helps. Together we are serving those who served.

Financial Donations

We rely on individual donations as the core of our fundraising. Hundreds of personal donations have been our lifeblood. Whether it's $500, $50 or even $5, we put every dollar to immediate and effective use. Your donation is tax deductible.
