We haven’t asked for much help but as with any project there comes a time when HELP is needed. We are in dire need of a licensed electrician. With the assistance of an electrician we can move forward on getting our certificate of occupancy and will be able to permanently house an additional 10 Veterans before winter 2026 is upon us. That will put Veterans Village at 24 Veterans Permanent Housed, with 2 units waiting to being completed. Every step brings us closer to providing safe, comfortable housing for local veterans. Thank you to everyone supporting our mission. Our new roof is almost completed and we will be moving on to the next phase, which includes our center court and asphalting. We can be contacted at 609-501-1179. Anyone wishing to make a donation to our project can do so through Cash App or Venmo ($Veterans101nj). We also have Zeffy to receive payments from Credit cards (contact us and we can take payment over the phone).

Due to circumstances beyond our control we have had to make a tough decision to reschedule our Clam Bake. The new Date will be June 1, 2024. To those that purchased tickets and will not be able to attend a full refund will be given. But, good news is those that could not attend original date will hopefully be available for this date. Please support our fundraiser and help us provide permanent housing for our Homeless and At Risk Veterans. Veterans 101, 1st Annual Crab Bake/Craft Fair

With Veterans 101 Jean Eber Crosby Kristine Prettymanjane Jane Babli
Our Clam Bake Fundraiser is approaching quickly, May 25, 2024. We are putting a special plea out requesting your support. Do to the over whelming responses we have had, since our news release from CBC News, we have to step up our renovations to accommodate Veterans that are waiting to come to Veterans Village. In order to complete the renovations on the remaining 14 rooms we need to replace the roof then complete renovations. We are on a mission to raise $350,000 to complete this portion of renovation. So please support our mission, purchase ticket(s) to our fundraiser, unable to attend the fundraiser please make a donation, sponsor a Veteran so they can attend, become a partner and support Veterans 101. We are challenging all my family and friends. If everyone would give a little no one has to give a lot and we as a community can say we all came together and provided permanent housing to Our Homeless/At Risk Veterans

We are still looking for Vendors also, so please step up and help us make this fundraiser a success and meet our goal of $350,000 to provide housing to 14 Veterans.

We also welcome fundraising ideas, Businesses that would like to partner or sponsor us and all Veterans Affiliated Organizations to join forces with us to complete this project. This is a New Jersey Project, so let’s all come together and show everyone how powerful our New Jersey Communities can be. Call or text. Thank You
