In November 2020, we put the keys of nine payment-free vehicles into the hands of our nation’s combat-wounded heroes and 2 mortgage-free homes were awarded and four of our mortgage-free home recipients had their 3 years of family and financial mentorship sponsored.
None of this would be possible without the faithful support of the following organizations:
Bank of America, Chevrolet, Keurig Dr Pepper, Walmart, Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo Auto
Special Note About Those Awarded
All the combat-wounded veterans and unmarried Gold Star spouses shown below applied for our programs through our website. They submitted documentation we requested of them and went through our vetting process. They were selected by a specialized committee to ensure the best applicant to receive the vehicle or home was selected. None of our homes or vehicles are awarded through a lottery.
