The Building Lives Foundation

Our mission is to support veterans in reintegrating into civilian life by providing assistance and resources as a gesture of gratitude for their dedication to preserving our freedoms in the United States. We accomplish this through a variety of veterans assistance programs, volunteer efforts, and contributions from individuals like you.

Our Programs

PROJECT ADVANCE

Project Advance assists single veterans and veterans with families in securing employment and permanent housing. Over the next 12 months, we will offer crisis intervention to 50 new clients and provide mentoring and follow-up support to 48 existing clients.

THE ACADEMY

The Academy is a structured, facility-based program for male veterans battling addiction and mental health issues. The mission of The Academy is to provide veterans the opportunities and resources necessary to transition from chronic homelessness to sustained independent living.

We Need Your Support

Since the founding of our country, over 45,000,000 men and women have served in the military to safeguard our democratic freedoms and way of life.  Of these, 1,306,026 have made the ultimate sacrifice.

There are over 2,404,928 serving in active and reserve units. Many of these veterans who survive the battlefield and rigors of military service will return to their homes only to find themselves facing an even graver battlefield.

Become A Volunteer

We’re always looking for volunteers who want to help our local veterans. You can get involved through mentoring, helping with events or just lending a helping hand.

Make A Donation

You can help out our many needy veterans by making monetary donations as well as donating property and vehicles. All donations are tax deductible.
