MOAA Community Outreach Grant Program
Our Chapter is again participating in MOAA’s Community Outreach Grant
program for 2019.
In 2018 we received a grant of $3,000 in
support of the Homeless Veteran Stand Down.
This year we are continuing to provide
support of homeless Veterans through the One
Hopeful Place Shelter in Fort Walton Beach.
One Hopeful Place is in process of their
Phase 2 construction program which will increase
their temporary housing capability from the
current 10 males to up to 10 females and 40
males, plus expand their Cold Night Shelter
program.
We have applied to MOAA for a grant of $5,000 to
be used to purchase furniture (beds, mattresses,
and dressers) for the additional dormitory
spaces.
Upon receipt of the furniture, I will be calling
on you ‘able-bodied’ members to un-box and
assemble the furniture at One Hopeful Place.
Stay tuned for more information.
