For Homeless Vets

No honorable discharged veteran should be homeless regardless of their situation. We help those who need help and give them a comfortable warm place to stay. Rehabilitation is in our hands through the work of God and through him we are blessing those who need blessed. By providing a safe warm place to live and showing that there are people who care we are able to help those veterans back on their feet in time of need. After all, they were there for us when we were in need and this is just our way of giving back to those who need us and maintain a mainstay in our community.
