Vox Viridis Non-Profit of the Week: Homes for Our Troops

What They Do:

Homes for Our Troops assists severely injured servicemen and servicewomen and their immediate families by raising donations of money, building materials and professional labor and to coordinate the process of building a home that provides maximum freedom of movement and the ability to live more independently. The homes provided by Homes for Our Troops are given at no cost to the veterans.

Specifically, Homes for Our Troops organizes A Build Brigade, a 3-day marathon build that begins with a foundation and a sub-floor. With the help of volunteer construction and licensed trades people and local food and fundraising key volunteers, a home emerges over the course of the event, weather-tight to the elements. During the following few months, the interior of the home is wired, plumbed, walled and finished. Once the finishing touches are completed, the home is given to the veteran at no cost to them.

What You Can Do:

Donate services or material, volunteer on a project, or hold a fundraiser.
