House of Heroes

Introduction:

Founded in January 2000, the House of Heroes is a nonprofit organization serving our nation`s military and public safety veterans (and their spouses) who are disabled, living on a fixed income, or facing other physical/financial challenges. Volunteers perform minor repairs and make improvements to the homes of veterans and their spouses—at no cost to the veteran—through the generosity of individuals, civic organizations, and corporations.

Home repairs include, but are not limited to, cleaning, painting, installation of access ramps, installations of screen windows and doors, repair or replacement of basic appliances, and yard maintenance and improvement. Home improvements are supervised by a local contractor, and will meet applicable codes.

Mission Statement:The mission of the House of Heroes is to recognize and honor military and public safety veterans (and their spouses) who have served our country faithfully and sacrificially. Through service to these veterans and their spouses, House of Heroes volunteers attempt to express a gratitude that can never be adequately expressed in words.

Volunteer Opportunties:

Thank you for your interest in serving as a volunteer with the House of Heroes. There are a variety of ways for you to do something personal and practical for our military and public safety veterans (and/or their spouses) with special financial and physical needs. So many of these individuals urgently need your help, and their gratitude and appreciation is both gratifying and overwhelming.

Serving as a volunteer on a House of Heroes project is both fun and easy. You don`t have to possess any home repair or construction skills. The leaders of organizations whose employees have served together on a House of Heroes project report it was a phenomenal team-building experience.
