🇺🇸 ATTENTION VETERANS 🇺🇸

Veterans Village currently has 2 homes available for veterans who are looking for more than just a place to stay.

We are building a community centered on hope, encouragement, accountability, purpose, and forward progress—a place where veterans can find the stability and support needed to begin building a stronger foundation for the future.

Veterans Village is for those who are ready to work toward something better. Maybe that means rebuilding financially, strengthening life skills, restoring confidence, reconnecting with purpose, or simply having a supportive community around you while you take those next steps.

We believe housing should be more than four walls and a roof. It should provide the foundation from which someone can begin to grow, heal, regain independence, and create a life they are proud of.

Here, we want residents to know they are part of a community that encourages one another, celebrates progress, and believes that difficult seasons do not have to define the rest of your story.

🏠 We currently have 2 homes available for veterans.

If you are a veteran looking for a community where you can plant your feet, build on a solid foundation, and genuinely work toward your next chapter, we would love to hear from you.

🇺🇸 Veterans Village — not just a place to be, but a place to belong, rebuild, and move forward.

🇺🇸 EXCITING NEWS FROM VETERANS VILLAGE!

Our two donated buildings for our resident woodshop are officially on site and ready to be set up! 🙌

One building will serve as the main RHN/ Veterans Village Resident Woodshop, while the second will provide much-needed space for lumber, materials, tools, and supplies.

During the moving process, we did run into a couple unexpected complications due to original location and site deterioration that caused us to have to remove the porch and we will have to repair some of the boards on the bottom. Thankfully, nothing too bad and everything can be repaired and restored.

We are now at the final stretch before launching this program!

To complete the necessary repairs, install electrical service, and get both buildings fully set up and ready for our residents, we are estimating a cost of approximately $2,500–$2,750. This will cover the lumber and materials, electrical box and wiring for the power company to set up the connection and labor needed to finish the project.

We are SO excited to be this close to making the woodshop program a reality! ❤️

This program is about so much more than building things. It will give our residents an opportunity to learn valuable skills, work with their hands, build confidence and purpose, contribute to Rural Homeless Network/Veterans Village, and create handmade products they can proudly sell to generate income.

We have already been incredibly blessed by the generous support of our local Lowe's Home Improvement and Harbor Freight as well as the amazing donation of our buildings and many of the tools and equipment needed to get started. Now we are asking our community to help us cross the finish line.

🙏 We are asking for your support to help bring the Rural Homeless Network/Veterans Village Resident Woodshop to life!

Whether you can donate $10, $25, $50,$100 to help with funding, or simply share this post to hopefully expand our reach, every bit of support gets us one step closer to opening those doors for our residents. (The donation link is in the comments below or our mailing address is 323 E. Main St Kirbyville,Tx 75956) PLEASE PLEASE SHARE SO WE CAN REACH OUR GOAL AND SEE THIS MISSION TO COMPLETION 🙏

We aren't just building a woodshop—we're building opportunity, purpose, confidence, and a pathway toward greater independence. 🇺🇸❤️

Thank you for continuing to believe in the mission of Rural Homeless Network/Veterans Village and in the men and women we serve.

Update-They did surgery and they were able to save his foot (minus a couple toes) as of now! He's not out of the woods yet as they're still fighting to get infection and bp under control but, he's in good spirits and praising God!

He said he is grateful for all the continued prayers especially for his journey to healing and recovery moving forward!

I need all the help we can get right now ...one of our favorite residents Mr. Alvin is currently in the hospital due to severe infection in his only foot.

He has been such an inspiration to so many and always has the best attitude!

I'm asking for all the prayers we can get for Mr Alvin!! God can do all things and we are believing for full healing and restoration!!

Today we celebrate the freedoms we enjoy as Americans and honor the brave men and women who have defended them throughout our nation's history.

At Veterans Village, Independence Day is more than fireworks and cookouts. It's a reminder that every veteran deserves the opportunity to rebuild, rediscover hope, and experience the freedom that comes with having a safe place to call home.

As we gather with family and friends, we ask you to remember those who are still fighting battles long after their military service has ended. Together, as a community, we can make a lasting difference by extending compassion, encouragement, and support to our nation's heroes and to our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

Thank you to every volunteer, donor, business, church, and community member who stands beside us. Your generosity is helping restore lives one person, one family, and one home at a time.

May God continue to bless our veterans, our first responders, our military families, and the United States of America.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." — Psalm 33:12

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

We just wanted to remind everyone of our lawn care and landscaping services we now provide at Rural Homeless Network/Veterans Village.

Part of our resident success depends on being able to earn money to take care of their everyday living expenses. Not only does this program help accomplish that,but it also gives them a sense of pride that they can earn their way and give back to the community!

Please keep us in mind for any and all lawn care or landscaping needs you may have! Our residents will truly appreciate it! And PLEASE SHARE if you're in the Jasper/Newton county area
