Mentors are a vital part of the successful reintegration of the veterans into the community.

You may also volunteer to help with events or just lend a helping hand.

Please use the contact information below if you are interested in becoming a Mentor or Volunteer.

TIME

Give Your

Building Lives accepts donations of real estate and vehicles. We need both as we strive to provide low cost quality housing and to provide transportation.

If you have a lot, a house or building of any kind, you may donate that asset to Building Lives Foundation, Inc. and receive a full value tax deduction. You may also donate any type of vehicle.

Welcome Home Kit

Making your own kit provides a wonderful opportunity to give our veteran’s personalized kits!

​

We also want to keep kit contents consistent, so please follow the items and quantity listed under the heading ‘Home Kit Checklist’.

If no size standards or specific details are listed, it’s up to you to decide what is most appropriate for your kit.

​

Also note, kits will not be assigned by gender so do not worry about making a gender-targeted kit.
