ADFS awards VFC with a Veterans Donation Fund Grant

3/11/2020

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

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.

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.
