CURRENT PROJECTS

Connect Vets Skills Center - Complete! and operational, check us out on Facebook or on our Skills Center page to book some time to use it.

Transitional Housing - Total Cost = $15,000

We are constructing a fully furnished one bedroom apartment with a full bathroom, kitchen, and living space. We need $15,000 to finish it which will go towards furniture, fixtures, finish carpentry/electric, cabinets, appliances, lighting, and labor.  

Transportation - Total Cost = Depends on vehicle ($200-$2000)

One program we are committed to is ensuring veterans and their families have safe reliable transportation to get to appointments and employment. We are accepting donations of vehicles with titles and giving those vehicles to veteran families that need them. Some mechanical work needed is ok, we will work with veterans to fix the issues teaching them vocational skills. See below for current and finished projects.

Benevolence Fund - Varies

Our Mission is to show God's love to every Vet one need at a time. By giving to this fund you will help do that. We are contacted daily for things such as groceries, tires, gas, childcare, books, certifications, parts, etc. and the money for those things comes from this fund. 

Mentoring programs will connect military families with other veterans that have skills and abilities to help them navigate everyday situations like filling out paperwork, connecting them to services, fixing automotive and appliance issues, and teaching vocational skills. 

Automotive Services are offered free of charge to veterans and their families. Small jobs like oil changes and tire rotations can be completed quickly, larger jobs will take longer based on skilled labor and available parts and tools. We also offer space and tools in the skills center for personal use on individual projects. 

Appliance repair services are available on some major brands. We can repair seals, motors, test electrical parts, and inspect other issues.
