HELP HINTON SUPPORT VETERANS IN OUR AREA
Help Hinton turn $8000 into $40,000 to support veterans through our Safe & Healthy Home Repairs ministry! Hinton will repair homes for at least four veterans with disabilities at no cost to them over the next three years due to a new grant. Hinton will be a subrecipient of the Veterans Home Repair & Modification Pilot, a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funding program. Hinton has committed to providing an additional $28,000 in matched and leveraged resources to fulfill the requirements of the $40,000 grant award, making the total local investment $68,000. WE ARE ONLY $8000 SHORT of fulfilling the requirements of the $40,000 grant award. If you’d like to contribute, you can bring or mail a check to Hinton Center (2330 Hinton Center Rd, Hayesville) or donate through PayPal or by credit card on this page. Put VETERANS GRANT in the notes! Any funds raised over the $8000 will still be used to help veterans with Safe & Healthy Home Repairs.
