Celebrating Veterans Day
During this Veterans Day Weekend, we want to thank all of our neighbors who served our country. But, just like you, we try to thank them through our deeds, and we try to do it all year-round. It has been our honor to make 380 homes more livable for veterans in need over the years.

“The Right to Re-charge”
All of us in HomeFront hope our volunteers and supporters have plans in the works to unwind and re-charge over the summer if you haven’t already. Whether it’s fishing, trading in a paint brush for a barbeque basting brush or putting aside that storm door installation manual in favor of a good summer read—you have earned it! After all, many families are now able to breathe a sigh of relief after the major repairs you helped us to make on their homes.
