The Veterans Furniture Center (VFC) is honored to have the ongoing support of APS. 100% of their donation will go toward purchasing the furniture and household goods our transitioning veterans so desperately need to start a new life and stay off the streets. During this unusual time, our homeless veterans are especially vulnerable to the ravages of COVID-19.  It is essential to get them off the streets and safely into permanent housing. The support of APS will help the ongoing success of the mission of the VFC. ​

WILLOWBROOK UNITED METHODIST CHURCH - "PILLOW PROJECT"

1/31/2020

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our friends at Willowbrook UMC.  On January 11th and 12th, they kicked off their first ever "Pillow Project".  It was a major success.   The donation drive collected 137 new pillows and enough funding to purchase an additional 150 pillows and pillow cases.

We sometimes take for granted things we have in everyday life, but this act of kindness will have a huge impact on 287 veterans who may have recently used a box, newspaper or a park bench to rest their head.
