I challenge you! This year has been a challenge for many of us. I am thankful for the love of my family and friends, that I have remained employed and that I have a roof over my head and food on the table. During this holiday season, you can help those less fortunate by helping a veteran who is homeless by joining me in the CARDBOARD CHALLENGE. Veterans Matter – National Homeless Veterans Housing Program , they are working to stamp out veteran homelessness.

The Cardboard Challenge is simple: use cardboard and any other supplies to create your own unique sign, donate $10, and then challenge two friends to do the same. Here’s mine! Go to veteransmatter.org and click DONATE. I challenge you!

Here’s the latest update from Veterans Matter – National Homeless Veterans Housing Program.  It’s not too late to join Veterans Matter for a virtual walk to end veteran homelessness on November 11, 2020. Those who are called to help homeless veterans can register and participate in individual or small group walks.

During the Month of November, Above Artistic will be donating $3 of EVERY T-shirt sold to this awesome organization. Check out our Veteran’s Collection!

Above Artistic is EXTREMELY excited to be partnering with @VeteransMatter for the month of November, spotlighting Veterans homelessness. Veterans Matter has placed 4,000 veterans since the organization was first founded in 2012!

The mission is simple, house as many veterans as we can, as fast as we can.

In 2012, Veterans Matter was launched in Toledo to house 35 local veterans and expanded nationally with the support of Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, John Mellencamp, and Mitch Albom, who wanted to help house veterans in their home states.

Veterans Matter – National Homeless Veterans Housing Program is a systems-level non-profit organization that works directly with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and local VA homeless programs to provide rental deposits and the veteran’s portion of the first month’s rent for chronically homeless veterans engaged in the HUD-VASH program. Using evidenced-based best practices, Veterans Matter has now housed over 4,000 veterans and over 1,400 veteran’s children in 25 states.

Want to help?  DONATE HERE!

During the month of November, Above Artistic will donate $3 from EVERY T-SHIRT SOLD ONLINE to Veterans Matter. Being a Veteran family, we are very passionate about this cause and are honored to be partnering with such a great organization.
