Veteran’s Build Phase I was a great success!

With the financial support of Roger Waters, and the help of the Bob Woodward Foundation, we were able to construct four new homes for worthy veterans.

However, this was only the beginning of our Veterans’ Village. We need the community to match the generous $300,000 donation from Roger Waters to help us start Phase II. This incredible project would have never been completed without our many faithful  and dedicated volunteers.

The following partners all made this possible:

Jim Durning & Roger Waters, Bob Woodward Foundation, One Small House, The Renesting Project, Inc., Hope For The Homeless, Overton Brooks Medical Center, Volunteers of America and Coyle Engineering
