 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.

 The VFC would like to recognize and thank The Arizona Department Of Veteran Services for awarding us a Veterans Donation Fund grant. This substantial size grant will help us serve 100 of the 300 veterans in 2020. One hundred percent of this grant will go towards the purchase of furniture and household goods to help Arizona vets start a new life.
The Arizona Veterans’ Donation Fund has helped fund programs that benefit veterans and their families throughout Arizona since 1999. Arizona State law specifies that tax-deductible donations to, and monies held in, this account can never revert to the State General Fund. More information on this fund may be found at https://dvs.az.gov/donation-fund  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. Learn more about Willowbrook United Methodist Church HERE.  The Irving B. Selmer American Legion Auxilary Unit #107 continues their support in 2020 . The VFC received another donation from this organization and we truly appreciate it. There is no way we could continue our mission without financial help from individuals and organizations that donate throughout the year.
