A PLACE TO CALL HOME VETERANS VILLAGE BEND, OREGON THE GIVING PLATE

In 2021, we were honored to surprise The Giving Plate with a $75,000 donation in support of their mission of feeding our neighbors in need. Additionally, our team members volunteer at The Giving Plate each Tuesday, averaging 1,000-1,500 bags of food assembled per month for kids in our community. We see firsthand that many in our own community are facing hunger and food insecurity every day and what a vital resource The Giving Plate is to ensure our community has access to food and nutrition. Hayden Homes is grateful for the work that our community partners, like The Giving Plate, do each day. We believe the best way to truly thank them is to reflect on our relationship and expand the shared values that help us build a strong community, together.

Hayden Homes had the privilege to serve as both a financial contributor, as well as a general contractor on a project to house homeless veterans, called Veterans Village, which was officially complete in November 2021. The Village includes 15 units and a central community building for Veterans. The community building serves as a place that Veterans can prepare meals, shower and socialize while receiving mental health and support services designed to help them break the cycle of homelessness. The hope for this project is that it can serve as a model to help address homeless issues in our community, while giving back to help our Veterans who dedicated themselves to our country.
