For more than a decade, the Vets on Track Foundation has been providing household furniture and accessories for veterans, first responders and their families who have transitioned into permanent housing from being homeless. While our efforts have kept most from returning to the streets – we’ve learned that furnishing homes isn’t enough. For many, having a home brings on new challenges that they weren’t ready to face.

The Mission – “Beyond the Streets” 

The mission of the Vets on Track Foundation’s “Beyond the Streets” Program, is to end veteran homelessness and significantly reduce the number of suicides by helping re-build self-worth, dignity, pride, and purpose. These are all traits needed to make a successful transition from homelessness and return as a valued member of society. The Vets on Track Foundation ensures that each veteran exiting homelessness has the necessary resources to make a smooth transition. From household furnishings and follow-on care, we eliminate a huge financial burden and truly give our unsung heroes a hand-up in restarting their lives.

Life Skills Training

“Beyond the Streets” doesn’t end when the veteran or first responder enters housing, follow on care through Life Skills training continues for as long as the client needs support.  Life Skills are the skills that many people take for granted, like personal hygiene, managing money, shopping, cooking, running a home and maintaining social networks. They are essential for living independently. Many veterans who have experienced homelessness, especially chronic homelessness, lack these skills either because they never acquired them or because they lost them through extended periods of homelessness. Helping those experiencing homelessness acquire life skills can help them move on from homelessness and resettle into the community as productive neighbors. Life skills training is different from support, help or assistance in that the aim is to promote self-sufficiency.

Please email us at: info@VetTrack.org to discuss household accessories donations as our needs vary greatly from week to week.

DONATE Household Goods in support of our “Welcome Home Kit” Initiative
Donations of household accessories are the lifeblood of our mission.  PLEASE NOTE: We NO LONGER accept donations of furniture items, as we have changed our business model and now work with furniture stores and manufacturers to address the furniture needs. We are, however, still accepting donations of household good items. Please see the list below.
We currently accept and pick up household accessory donations from communities surrounding Richmond, Virginia (up to a 40-mile radius).
We only accept household accessories that are in GOOD CLEAN condition.  These items are being placed into another person’s home, and we don’t have the manpower or financial resources to get items clean or fixed.
