The Foundation was established to collaborate on the construction of the Fresno Veteran Home in Fresno. It took years of hard work to secure approval and complete the building.
First, state funding had to be secured, followed by federal funding to initiate the project. The Fresno Veterans Home finally opened its doors in October 2013..
The Foundation raises funds to support residents, aiming to uplift their spirits during the holiday season. One of the key fundraising events is the Annual Spaghetti Dinner, which takes place in October. The proceeds from this dinner are used to purchase Christmas gifts for all residents. Since many residents do not have family nearby, this initiative brings them joy during the holidays.
The Foundation undertook the project of constructing a Wall of Honor at the front of the Fresno Veterans Home. This wall features the names of all residents who have passed away while residing at the home. Phase One of the Wall of Honor began in 2023 and was completed at the beginning of 2024. Phase Two is expected to commence in 2027, and the Foundation is currently working to raise funds for this initiative.
