The Home Depot Foundation Donates $100,000 in Support of Homeless Veterans
This holiday season, The Home Depot Foundation surprised Atlanta-based nonprofit partner, Mary Hall Freedom Village (MHFV), with $100,000 to support local women veterans transitioning out of homelessness. The grant will support MHFV’s new family services center, which will offer career development, childcare, veteran housing and numerous other health and wellness services.
More than 20 veteran residents were presented with holiday gifts and honored for their U.S. military service during the festive celebration. These residents were able to choose their own throw blankets, sheets, towels and pillows, all provided by The Company Store at The Home Depot. Pajamas, robes, coats, personal essentials and other wish-list items were also gifted to the veterans and their children. Additionally, MHFV’s staff members received gift cards for their benevolent community work.
