Caddo Mills, TX (November 4, 2024) – On Saturday, November 9, 2024, the national nonprofit organization Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) invites the community to a Volunteer Day event to help landscape Marine Lance Corporal Phillip Quintana’s future specially adapted custom home. The new home for LCpl Quintana, who was severely injured in Afghanistan, has more than 40 adaptations including lower countertops and roll under sinks.
The public is asked to use the shuttle location at Vansickle Baptist Church 2181 Co Rd 2246, Greenville, TX 75402. The shuttle will begin at 8:30 am and the landscaping begins at 10 a.m. Volunteers are asked to bring gardening gloves and will receive an HFOT T-Shirt and lunch.
The Volunteer Day is an event hosted by HFOT for the community to landscape the home by laying sod and planting trees and flowers in preparation for the Veteran’s homecoming. Phillip will receive his home at a Key Ceremony event soon. The community sponsor for the event is HEB Operation Appreciation.
Homes For Our Troops relies on contributions from donors, supporters, and corporate partners for the building of each Veteran’s home. Currently there are 70 HFOT home-build projects for injured Veterans in various stages of completion nationwide. Community members may hold fundraisers or make donations.
