LITTLE GEMS
Tunnels to Towers Foundation is on a mission to end veteran homelessness nationwide and provide mortgage-free homes to gold star and fallen first responder’s families.
The dignity of American Service Members needs to be ensured and no veteran or military member who made the sacrifice to defend this country and the people of it should be left on the street. The foundation has in progress the Veterans Villages and its National Case Management Network which has provided housing assistance and supportive services to over 5,000 veterans since its inception. The different programs help with different issues. The programs are the Smart Home, the Fallen First Responder Program, the Gold Star Family Home Program, and so much more.
The Tunnels to Towers Foundation will not stop until every veteran is housed. The commitment of the foundation is unwavering. Gold Star Families have sacrificed and need to be honored. Towers to Tunnel has provided or is in the process of over 1200 mortgage-free homes. The foundation offers many different ways to donate and raise money. There are various events held to raise funds for our nation’s heroes. There are many different walks, runs, and climbs across the nation that bring in big donations. The foundation and our nation’s defenders appreciate everyone’s support and participation in the fundraising events.
Recently the Bottle Shop right here in Lake Geneva held a gift-wrapping fundraiser that benefited the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Thank you to the Bottle Shop and all who attended. There are other ways to give such as a one-time monetary donation or an ongoing monthly donation of $11. Since the beginning, the foundation has been committed to keeping overhead costs to a minimum with .93 cents out of every dollar going to programs and services. The season of giving and hope is not over after Christmas and all help is appreciated. Thank you to the Veterans, Military Members, First Responders, and all the families that sacrifice so much for all.
