🇺🇸 AMERICA IS PRETTY GOOD AT THANKING VETERANS. WE’RE WORKING ON THE PART THAT COMES AFTER THE THANK-YOU.

A thank-you is a start. But what happens when a veteran needs clothing, basic essentials, resources, or simply a place where they can get a hand up?

That’s where CLOTHES FOR JOES comes in.

We’re building more than a place to get essential items. We’re building a Veteran Service Center right here in Fort Wayne — a place centered on dignity, support, and action.

🔥 NOVEMBER 7: Soft opening

🇺🇸 NOVEMBER 11: Grand opening on Veterans Day. Time to be announced!

And we’re not done building yet.

The Summit Legacy Foundation will match new donations to our capital campaign dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000, through December 20.

That means your support can go twice as far toward getting this center across the finish line.

💥 DON’T JUST THANK A VETERAN. STAND BEHIND ONE.

Your donation to help local veterans could have TWICE the impact!

Clothes For Joes is preparing to open a new Veteran Service Center in Fort Wayne, offering veterans more than just clothing. The facility will provide access to showers, hygiene supplies, phone and mail services, and connections to additional resources.

Now, thanks to a $50,000 matching commitment from the Summit Legacy Foundation, every dollar donated toward the center through December 20 can be doubled! With the grand opening scheduled for Veterans Day, community support could help bring the organization within reach of its $250,000 fundraising goal.
