Home Front
Many of the homes our heroes live in served their families well decades ago but are difficult to maintain as veterans age. Some homes are very old and in extreme disrepair, while others require modifications such as grab bars and wheelchair ramps to assist aging in place and maintaining independence. Yard work may also be too difficult a task for the heroes we serve, especially during the change of seasons. Faced with fixed incomes, our veterans often do not have funds to make repairs. Our Home Front team assists with maintenance issues, cleaning, safety assessments and yard work so our heroes maintain a safe and comfortable home.
Hero’s Bridge seeks individuals, groups, and/or companies who are willing to assist veterans when needs arise. Volunteers may be asked to provide supplies and materials for small projects, and Hero’s Bridge leadership will assist and guide with larger projects which may require community support of supplies and materials.
Background checks are required for any volunteer who spends time alone with our Veterans, drives our Veterans or has access to our Veterans personal information.
