Woody's Home for Veterans
Woody's Home for Veterans was founded in 2003 in honoring my father and other fellow American veterans like my Dad. "Woody" Establishing the 501c3 nonprofit, acquiring a loan from the bank to purchase the first home and giving the ability to provide a home for our first soldiers.
Our veterans are the fogotten ones. Most remember and support the veterans who return from overseas with an obvious handicap. Our residents came back from their time of service with deep wounds not necessarily visible to the naked eye. Conditions such as (PTSD) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and depression, both brought about by the horrors of combat, can be devastating and permanently alter a person's life.
We provide a home and safe haven for our veterans. They can interact with one another, feel safe, and continue to receive the care they need and deserve. In 2008, we opened the doors to our second home and currently stay 90% or more.
We are acreditied with the VA hospital. Locally, the VA has over 300 registered homeless veterans in our area and unsure of nonregistered. The numbers continue to grow in every town, city and state.
Our goal is to assist as many veterans suffering from mental health issues and give them a place to call home. We will continue to open more homes as funding allows.
There is a box in the Canteen to collect donatable items to send to Woody's Home in December 2018
