Masonic Charaties of Arizona Supports Our Veterans
|
September 20, 2019 - The VFC is proud to announce that Masonic Charities has joined our sponsors to support our veterans in need. David Miller from Masonic Charities visited the warehouse and presented us with a check to purchase the items our veterans need to most. David came at a time when the volunteers were loading the trucks for delivery, so he had the opportunity to see the VFC in action. We look forward to a long-term relationship with Masonic Charities of Arizona and appreciate the great work they do to support our community and our veterans.

AZDVS Supports Our Veterans (Again!)
|
The VFC was recently in very short supply of dressers for our formerly homeless veterans. This is an essential piece of the kit we supply to veterans transitioning from homelessness. We reached out the Arizona Department of Veterans Services and they provided funding through the Arizona Veteran's Donation Fund to purchase fifty new dressers. These arrived in the warehouse in early September and we have already started delivering them to our veterans in need.

- We deliver furniture to veterans every single week, fifty-two weeks a year.
- Since 2009 the VFC has assisted over 2,700 formerly homeless veterans.
- We are currently delivering furniture & household goods to about 300 veterans a year.
We are making a Difference - You can Help
Used Furniture
The Veterans Furniture Center is no longer accepting any used furniture or household goods. We apologize for any inconvience this may cause, but we must focus on the needs of our formerly homeless veterans, who live in very small, one-three room apartments. Even the best quality donated items often were too big or unsuitable for their use, and much of what we received was unserviceable. We often had to pay to dispose of donated used items. To make matters worse, we often didn't have all of the items the veteran needed, putting them at risk of becoming homeless again.
To give our transitioning veterans a hand up in their efforts to become functioning members of society we now deliver a complete kit of new furniture and household goods specifically tailored to meet their needs. (Click here to see the description of the kit.) We appreciate those who donated in the past and hope that you will understand that we must focus on our mission of assisting transitioning veterans so that they may lead a successful life and not return to the street.
We especially appreciate the support of Living Spaces who is providing brand new beds for all of our needy veterans.
Thank you for your understanding. Please consider supporting us as we strive to reduce, and eventually end, veteran homelessness.
