A big thank you to Cindy Walz for donating 40 cooling kits to Hillsborough County!

We were honored to attend today’s Veteran Homeless Surge Event at The Portico. Huge shoutout to James A. Haley VA and all the amazing community partners who showed up to support our local veterans.

Events like this make a real difference—connecting vets to housing, services, and the care they deserve. Proud to be part of a community committed to making veteran homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring.
