About the VCP

VCP helps homeless Veterans have a home, and somewhere to be noticed, have food, and more. They build small homes that have essentials that everyone would need.

Action Plan

runderwood26 — 2024-03-19 16:11:22 UTC

We are going to make hygiene bags with a bunch of items by raising money by doing a lemonade and popcorn sale. We also are going to try to have a guest speaker come and talk about what they do for others.

Some ways you can help VCP is by volunteer by donating good or essential products, buying stuff from their wish list, if you are old enough you can volunteer to help build or plant stuff and lastly just simply donating a few dollars can help a lot.
