Get involved
Bring your skills. We will put them to work.
Volunteers help keep our shared homes ready for the next veteran. You can lend a hand, donate furniture, clothing and personal care items, or partner with us as a business, church or agency.

Pick what you are good at.
A few hours makes a difference. Choose one or more ways to help, and tell us when you are free.

Donated furniture, clothing and personal care items help a new resident settle in and make a shared home feel like home.

Household
Bedding and towels, kitchenware, cleaning supplies and small appliances.

- Call or message us first. We will tell you what is needed right now.
- Set up a time. We can pick it up, or you can drop it off.
- Get a thank-you letter. It lists what you gave, for your records.
Our thank-you letter describes the items but does not put a dollar value on them. The donor sets the value for tax purposes. Prefer to give money? Donate online.
