Twice the Citizen, Combat Ready-This We'll Defend ___________________________________________ July 15, 2026 Summer is a season of connection, and we're grateful for the community that continues to stand beside our veterans every step of the way. Whether you've attended an event, volunteered your time, shared our mission, or made a gift, you've helped create opportunities for veterans and their families to find stability and hope. This month, we're excited to share a new fundraising opportunity, introduce an exciting initiative that's coming soon, and highlight ways you can stay involved throughout the rest of the summer. Tune in July 18 at 5:00 p.m. Join Chris Sidebottom (Dozer's Wood Crafts) as he creates one of his signature handcrafted clocks, then raffles it off. Every donation to Welcome Homes during the live stream enters you into the drawing. July 18, 5 p.m. This special event is part of the growing community support surrounding the 3rd Annual Whiskey & Warriors Community Event, proving that there are countless ways to make a difference. Set a reminder, tune in live, and help turn craftsmanship into housing, hope, and opportunity for veterans. We're excited to introduce a brand-new way for passionate supporters to help spread our mission. Ambassadors of Welcome Home is a new community program designed to connect dedicated advocates with opportunities to share our story, build awareness, and inspire others to support veterans experiencing homelessness. We'll officially kick off the program this fall, and we can't wait to introduce our first group of ambassadors. If you've ever wanted to be a stronger voice for Welcome Home—or know someone who would make an incredible ambassador—please reach out to us to let us know you're interested. Email: mvogt@welcomeveterans.org for more information. Share a Story. Honor a Veteran. Every veteran has a story worth remembering. This month, we're inviting veterans, family members, friends, and supporters to share stories about the veterans who have impacted their lives. Whether it's a loved one who served, a veteran who inspired you, or your own journey, these stories help preserve legacies and strengthen our community. For those who submit a Tribute Story, we will send you a custom vinyl sticker so you can show your support for a special veteran (or service member). Together, these stories remind us that behind every service member is a unique journey of courage, sacrifice, and resilience. Have a story to share? It could be yours or that of a loved one. We'd love to hear it. Coming Soon: Our 2025 Annual Report We're putting the finishing touches on our 2025 Annual Report, which is currently in the final stages of review and data integration before being presented to our Board of Directors this month. Inside, you'll find stories of lives changed, program accomplishments, financial stewardship, and the incredible impact made possible by supporters like you. We'll share the full digital report—and give you a first look—in next month's newsletter. The following third-party fundraisers are community-created events for the benefit of Welcome Home. We are grateful to these incredible organizations and individuals who come together to support our mission. 3rd Annual Whiskey & Warriors Community Event, Benefitting Welcome Home 3rd Annual Stars and Stripes Golf Tournament Lake of the Woods Golf Course 9th Annual Charity Picnic Logboat Brewing Company Your Support Changes Lives Every meal served, every veteran housed, and every life restored begins with people who believe no veteran should experience homelessness alone. Whether you choose to make a one-time gift, become a monthly donor, volunteer, or attend an upcoming event, you're helping build a future where every veteran has a place to call home. Thank you for standing with Welcome Home. Explore all the ways you can support our mission. We’re proud to share that Welcome Home earned Candid’s Platinum Seal of Transparency.
