Our mission –
In 2007, a number of Vietnam veterans founded Vets Help Vets, a not for profit corporation organized as a
501(c)3 charity to provide no cost home renovations to veterans with a service connected disability.
Priority will be given to those veterans restricted to a wheel chair and those who received the Purple Heart Award. An evaluation committee has been established that will review each request to validate eligibility and prioritize based on the individual need and availability of funds to complete the project.
We conduct various fund raising events during the year to supplement our membership dues and donations to purchase the materials needed for our projects.
No project will be started unless funds are available to complete the work. All work is done by volunteers and built according to local code and we are grateful to the IBEW Local 613 for coordinating licensed volunteer electricians and the Plumbers and Mechanical Association of Georgia for coordinating licensed volunteer plumbers to support our work.
Our Atlanta service area is Fulton, De Kalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Cherokee, Forsyth, Pickens and Dawson Counties
.
