126 guests served during December through your support. That's 33 families who remained together during a medical event - because a family's love is the best medicine. More than $1,225,600 in savings to military families since our home opened in 2010.
|
|
Our home was almost 100% occupied the week before Christmas, and remains almost at capacity for this week. Meeting the need!
