The most important part of any project that we undertake is the people we help. This is especially true when these veterans or first responders have risked their lives, and in many cases had their lives forever changed, in defense of our country or in service to our communities. Operation Finally Home addresses the most pressing need of our returning heroes and their families – a home to call their own.
