Home Base Florida, a leading nonprofit that provides clinical care, wellness and education to help veterans, service members, and their families heal from the invisible wounds of war, recently engaged in two impactful volunteer days with Habitat for Humanity of Lee and Hendry Counties.

During the two volunteer days, veterans enrolled in the Home Base Florida Adventure Series, a program that provides free events and activities for veterans, active-duty service members, and their families in collaboration with businesses and non-profit organizations, gave participants an opportunity to collaborate and contribute to the completion of two homes for local SWFL veterans. This effort allowed the volunteers to build camaraderie and gave them a sense of purpose as they generously donated their time and skills to support fellow veterans, reflecting their service-oriented spirit that goes beyond their military responsibilities.

“Our veterans are always looking for ways to give back to the community, even though they have already given so much to our country,” said Armando Hernandez, Senior Director at Home Base Florida. “Participating in these volunteer days with Habitat for Humanity allowed our veterans to make a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of local veterans in need. We are immensely proud of their dedication and generosity.”

Past Adventure Series events have included animal-assisted experiences, a Red Sox Spring training game, pizza nights, golf lessons, pickleball, movie nights and much more. These experiences foster a sense of camaraderie and unity among the veterans, creating bonds that extend beyond the day’s activities. The memories made during these events serve as a reminder of the joy and connection that can be found in shared experiences and support the health and wellbeing of local veterans.
