Happy to deliver 200+ bottles of body wash and 200+ sticks of deodorant to the Paramus Veterans Home. My heart still sinks to see the half-mast flags for the victims of COVID19 - but thanks to your gifts we're able to bring a small bit of sunshine to our vets. We'll be reaching out to as many VA hospitals as possible during this time as COVID19 is still very real and keeping our heroes in isolation.
*Reminder* June is PTSD Awareness month. ...

This is an extremely difficult time for all of us – but our veterans in particular – who already suffer from preexisting mental health conditions such as PTSD and depression, are prone to exasperating these conditions by being confined to their homes indefinitely... here's how we're helping:

This is just a fraction of the veterans we’ve had the pleasure of knowing and helping who have sacrificed things that we take for granted - such as walking - for *our* freedom. On this Memorial Day, we remember all of the soldiers who volunteered and gave their lives for us to sleep soundly in our beds at night. Thank you to the men and women and families who have and still sacrifice so much. Thank you to our veterans. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙👼🏻 ...

COVID19 is making life tough for all of us right now. Our veterans are STRONG and used to being FEARLESS fighters - out there fighting for our freedom! This entire planet feels unsafe and dark...BUT we want to help shine a bright, happy and positive light on our veterans - even if we can't be with them in person right now. One of our volunteers, Mariann Raftery (also known as Somebody's Mom) is in the process of making funny and uplifting cards filled with LOVE to send to our veterans. If you know a veteran who could use a personalized card - please DM us!

***Some additional updates***
*Donations are going to cards and care packages and all kinds of virtual support during COVID19. We are focused on care packages for veteran care facilities who have been ravaged by COVID19 where healthy AND sick patients are forced to quarantine.
*We will continue to do barrier-free renovation projects in states where COVID19 restrictions are lifted and little to no cases are being documented - starting potentially June 1st.

Thank you for your support <3

Alpha Sigma Tau (the Epsilon Theta Chapter at FDU Metro), along with other organizations on the Fairleigh Dickinson University campus - planned to host a Veterans Drive last month in which they would collect donations for veterans in exchange for Homes For Veterans socks. Unfortunately, the condition of this pandemic forced the event to cancel in-person programming for the rest of the semester. However, Gabby Sesin's chapter plans on holding this event when the campus' status permits. They will donate to Homes For Veterans to honor our late founder, Doug, and his work and legacy. Thank you Gabby and Fairleigh Dickinson University ! <3 Stay safe and well.Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well!

I just wanted to share something with you. My boyfriend recently lost his uncle, Doug DiPaola, to COVID-19. Doug was the founder of an amazing organization called Homes for Veterans. This charity organization "is dedicated to building specially adapted homes which are handicap accessible, barrier free and of no cost to the veteran themselves." I had the privilege of meeting Doug and getting to know his strong love for and dedication toward HFV.

My sorority, Alpha Sigma Tau (the Epsilon Theta Chapter at FDU Metro), along with other organizations on campus (including my boyfriend's fraternity), planned to host a Veterans Drive last month in which we'd collect donations for veterans in exchange for HFV socks I had received from Doug. Unfortunately, the condition of this pandemic forced us to cancel in-person programming from that point on, for the rest of the semester. However, my chapter still plans on holding this event when the campus' status permits it so that we may donate to HFV and honor Doug's amazing work and legacy. He was such an incredible and selfless man, and an inspiration to many. Here's to Doug, and here's to HFV. Thank you for everything. ❤️
