Featured Partnership: The Home Depot Foundation
Since April 2011, Volunteers of America has partnered with
The Home Depot Foundation to provide quality homes to veterans and their families nationwide. To date, the Foundation has pledged $2.8 million over three years to repair and rehab properties where veterans and their families live. First-round projects included the rehabilitation of residential facilities in Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles and Miami, serving approximately 275 disabled and/or homeless veterans and their families at any given time. A second round of grants, awarded in Oct. 2011, will benefit an additional 272 veterans and their family members in 10 cities nationwide. Each project includes numerous opportunities for Team Depot, The Home Depot’s associate-led volunteer force, to get involved as well.
