The Gap

The concept is great… find our homeless Veterans, give them the supportive services they need and a place they can lay their head at night.

But there is something missing from this collaboration. These Veterans come to us with nothing… not a cup, a spoon, a bed, a couch… nothing.

The VASH Program provides supportive services and a roof and four walls, but not a home. Our Veterans deserve more than this, for their service and sacrifice they deserve a place that feels like a real home. This is our opportunity to make that happen, to show our appreciation and support to those who have given so much.
