House Of Heroes

Encourage leadership and service, team building and volunteerism. House of Heroes-Chattahoochee Valley Chapter provides team building with the added reward of public service. We again invited former project leaders to an appreciation luncheon and opportunity to pick 2024 projects. Our executive director delivered 6 presentations to organizations and recorded 7 TV and radio spots to highlight our accomplishments and promote participation. Board officers also represented us in the community. During the 2024 year, 335 volunteers from 17 community businesses and organizations cleaned, painted, and repaired the homes of 38 military and public safety veterans and/or their spouses; 2 project leaders supervised the work of 24 teams. The Redeeming the Block focus has continued to stimulate greater community awareness and support. 345 additional volunteers worked in other 2024 fundraising and community activities which generated donations for our organization.

Recognize and honor veterans and their spouses who have faithfully and sacrificially served their country. 18 homeowner veterans who received assistance were honored during 2024. Homeowners and volunteers gathered together at the end of the workday to celebrate with a flag ceremony. Two flags were presented; one flag to display outside the home and one flag, which has flown over the United States capitol building, is presented to the homeowner in a flag case with the inscription: On behalf of the United States Congress, this gift to you for your gift to us.
