A stocked shelf can mean clean clothes, soap for the shower and one less thing a family has to worry about. 💛

Powerhouse Community Development Corporation collects donated household essentials, furniture and clothing, then connects partner agencies with resources for families across Boone County. Its 6,000-square-foot warehouse will create more room for that work.

As part of Veterans United Foundation’s 15-year celebration, Veterans United employees volunteered to help organize those donations and get them into the hands of families who need them.

To our employee donors and volunteers, thank you for making projects like this possible. Because of you, The Good Goes On.

"It feels good to do good."

Check out this great work from the Veterans United employees in St. Louis! They recently volunteered at Lift for Life Gym, a local nonprofit in St. Louis with the mission of empowering kids in North St. Louis City in a safe after-school environment through physical fitness while also encouraging them to build social skills and emotional intelligence.

These awesome volunteers worked to beautify the indoor space to make kids feel inspired as they enter the gym and improved the functionality of the outdoor space as the nonprofit has seen the need to serve more children increase.

Thank you to all the employees who came out to make a difference in their community and in these kids' lives. ✨

The Good Goes On!!!

"Volunteering in our community is especially meaningful, and it was a great reminder that many hands make light work," said Adora Breeden, a Veterans United employee who works at the Veterans United Home Loans of Hampton Roads office.

In honor of Veterans United Foundation's 15th anniversary, these Veterans United branch employees put in some heavy lifting to help Chesapeake Bay Foundation with oyster and bay restoration.

Thank you to everyone who came out and put in the time and effort on this project to make a difference!!! 💪

The Good Goes On!

Sharing some photos from a truly incredible event Veterans United employees participated in across the country.

In honor of Veterans United Foundation's 15th anniversary, our remote employees donated $25,000 to Travis Manion Foundation's 9/11 Heroes Run. Travis Manion Foundation invests in Veterans and families of the fallen to lead by mentoring youth and continuing their service when they enter into the civilian sector.

Veterans United branches in local communities also got involved, all coming out in support of an amazing cause. The 9/11 Heroes Run is an annual 5K to honor and remember the first responders who gave their lives and takes place in 100+ locations across the country.

Thank you to all the runners and supporters who showed up and turned out for this worthy mission!

Twenty five years ago, the skies were famously blue. What followed became a defining point of our history.

7:46 a.m. — the first plane struck the North Tower

8:03 a.m. — the second plane struck the South Tower

8:37 a.m. — the attack on the Pentagon

8:59 a.m. — the collapse of the South Tower

9:03 a.m. — the crash of Flight 93 in Shanksville, PA

9:28 a.m. — the collapse of the North Tower

It all happened in a relatively short period of time. But changed our country forever. Today, we honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives that day and those who have given their lives since. Never forget.

Two days. Two organizations. A whole lot of good from our Lenexa Crew! ✨

As part of Veterans United Foundation’s 15-year celebration, Veterans United employee volunteers spent back-to-back days helping create spaces that will make a real difference for children and families.

At Growing Futures Early Education Center , the team assembled shelving and cabinets, organized resources for Family Educators and helped set up the new Learning Innovation Lab, a flexible classroom built to support every child’s unique way of learning.

At Rose Brooks Center, volunteers helped refresh the intake space where survivors of domestic violence and their families first connect with staff after arriving at emergency shelter. The newly welcoming, functional space will help set the tone for the care and support ahead.

This is what 15 years of employee generosity looks like: people jumping in and making meaningful change together.

Way to go, Lenexa Crew! 💪

Shouting out our incredibly thoughtful, kind and skilled Veterans United employees in St. Louis today for the volunteer work they did at Stray Rescue of St. Louis as part of Veteran United Foundation's 15-year anniversary.

These volunteers worked to beautify the space for the people who work here and the animals who now live here by weed-eating, cleaning up the play yard and power washing. Getting to hang with some furry friends for the day was an added bonus for sure. 🙂🐕

We're so proud to know so many who are willing to roll up their sleeves and do some good to make our communities better.

The Good Goes On. 💪

We’re wrapping up summer and reminiscing on some unforgettable adventures. 🥰

As part of Veterans United Foundation’s 15-year celebration, the Remote VUF Committee approved a $25,000 donation to the National Park Foundation. This gift will help protect our national parks and support programs that connect more people with these incredible places.

We recently asked Veterans United employees to share their favorite national park memories. In honor of National Park Week, take a look at some of the parks, trails and breathtaking views they explored this summer.🌄🌲

VU’ers, feel free to tag yourselves and shout out your friends as you see them.🙂
