CLOTHING AND DONATIONS
One of the primary goals of the VIC is to support unhoused Veterans and their families in achieving permanent housing. Many individuals who have experienced homelessness possess very few personal belongings. To ease the transition, every Veteran and Veteran family we assist in securing a new home receives furniture and essential household items. Nearly all the donations we receive from the public are redistributed directly to the Veteran community we serve.
