House of Heroes Connecticut

Thank you to all that came for the annual Abner Oakes Veterans Day Race on the Farmington Canal Trail in Hamden last Sunday. Abner was a true friend of HOH and founded the Hamden Veterans' Commission. He served as its chairman for several years, and in 2010 he was inducted into the Connecticut Veterans' Hall of Fame. A patriot who helped us start HOH with our past chairman LTC Bill May. Thank you too to Enova Nutrition & Fitness Center for putting together a running team and to Karl Zukunft Sr. for recommending a donation from the Kidunot Living Organ Donor Fund. Thank you Mayor Adam Sendroff for running to support our Hamden veterans! And to Coach Clay of Team Mossman Triathlon Club for organizing the event. Quite the day!

Saturday was the kind of sun-splashed day that was perfect for helping a Veteran in need. At our second project of the day, HOHCT had the privilege and honor of working with an enthusiastic team of staff and clients from long-time Project Partner Johnson Brunetti to assist 83-year-old Newington Navy Vet Bob S. Following installation of a new door and completion of various repairs, painting and yard cleanup, Bob was left grateful and speechless. Even Bob's neighbors were stopping by to thank Bob for his service and to wish him well! It was a long way from 1962 in the waters near Cuba, where Bob was stationed aboard the USS Sumner Destroyer during the Cuban Missile Crisis. We salute you, Bob, and are proud to add you to our ever-growing roster of Vets for whom we have Made a Difference in a Day!

Yesterday, House of Heroes CT had the honor of paying tribute to Marine veteran James B. posthumously while helping his widow with much-needed repairs to her home in Wolcott. With the support of Pratt & Whitney, the Catholic War Veterans, and a handful of dedicated volunteers, we were able to repair her deteriorating shed, spread stone, tackle some light yardwork, and address electrical needs inside the home.

It’s a reminder that when we honor a veteran, we also stand beside the families they leave behind. We are grateful to everyone who came together to make a difference for this veteran’s widow.
This project marks 328 homes repaired by House of Heroes CT since 2012! Every home represents a veteran and a family who knows they are not forgotten. Thank you to all who continue to make our mission possible. Together, we honor their service by serving those they love. ❤️🤍💙

One week left. Nominate a veteran. Must need a gas or propane fired system.

One week left to help us find a Connecticut veteran whose home we can help keep warm this winter.

This Thanksgiving, we're giving back to someone who has given so much through our Warm Hearts, Warm Homes giveaway.

One Connecticut veteran will receive a brand-new natural gas or propane furnace, including professional installation, completely free of charge.

For a veteran and their family, a reliable heating system means more than comfort. It means one less expense to worry about, peace of mind through the colder months, and a warm place to call home.

But we need your help finding the right person.

If you know a Connecticut veteran who could benefit from a new furnace, we encourage you to nominate them. Veterans are also welcome to nominate themselves.

**Nominations close October 21, 2026.**

Nominees must be Connecticut veterans who own and occupy their homes. Final eligibility and installation feasibility will be confirmed through a home evaluation.

Submit your nomination: https://www.calltheb.com/thanksgiving-event-2026/

Please share this with your friends, family, and local veteran organizations. One nomination could make a meaningful difference for a veteran in our community.

Nominate a veteran or apply if you are a veteran. Must have a need for a gas fired or propane system. This is an incredible offer.

They’ve served our country. This Thanksgiving, we have an opportunity to serve one of them.

This Thanksgiving, we’re providing one Connecticut veteran with a brand-new natural gas or propane furnace and professional installation.

Completely free.

A dependable furnace means more than a warm house. It means one less worry when temperatures drop, and a little more peace of mind for the people who call it home.

We’re proud to put our team’s skills to work for our community—and we need your help finding the veteran whose home we’ll help keep warm.

Nominate yourself or a veteran you know by October 21, 2026.

Nominees must be Connecticut residents who own and occupy their homes. Eligibility and installation feasibility will be confirmed through a home evaluation.
