The Veterans’ Village of Northeast Florida only works if the community gets involved to help those that gave of themselves to protect our freedoms. Can you invest a little of your time, talent and treasure to help us make this happen?
Please help us meet our goals to make this a reality for our veterans
A 2 to 4-acre Town Center offering many services to our veterans.
The tiny houses will be built in groups of 12. Each group will have a central Care Center with a Full Kitchen, Living Room, Shower, Baths, Washrooms, & Laundry Rooms.
Each tiny house will have a bed, couch, fold-a-way table, TV with internet access, A/C unit, heating, & fan as well as a porch & a small yard.
We are talking to a local hospital about putting a clinic on the property. Many veterans will require immediate urgent care as they are welcomed into the community, & we want to be able to supplement VA care with more acute & immediate care onsite.
Throughout the property, we will have memorial walls to honor all who served. One of the things we are most proud of will be the Veterans Museum where the veterans will have an opportunity to record their stories for future generations. We are accepting items from the veteran’s community to place in the museum
We know that many of our homeless veterans have service dogs & companion animals. Those animals will need care as well so we are inviting local veterinarians to help us with a small vet clinic & a companion shelter for those veterans who would like a cat or dog to help with PTSD and more. We will have a dog park for the veterans to enjoy with their dogs & dog grooming stations to aid the veterans in caring for their dogs.
We are working with several colleges in the area to develop an education facility for veterans to attend online classes as well as a skills center to help our veterans learn helpful skills & trades.
We will be developing 5 acres as a food and vegetable garden, bee colony, in which we are speaking to local restaurants to sell veteran grown vegetables, fruits & honey too. Animal farm for our veterans to work as both therapy & a way to have fresh items to eat and sell to keep the community sustainable.
