Today, The Home Depot® Foundation announced that it has surpassed the three-year $30 million pledge it made in 2011 to veterans' housing initiatives more than a year ahead of schedule. As part of its second annual Celebration of Service campaign, the Foundation is now committing an additional $50 million to veterans' nonprofits over the next three years in an effort to ensure every veteran has a safe place to call home.

In addition to its funding commitment, The Home Depot Foundation's Celebration of Service campaign kicks off today with Team Depot associate volunteers repairing and renovating 100 veterans' homes in 13 cities. Over the next two months, through Veterans Day, thousands of Home Depot associates across the country will complete more than 300 service projects to benefit veterans and their families.

I love Home Depot! They came out to the Orlando DAV Chapter 16 to fix up our old building. Once they found out what the DAV does they have been right there to help us because we're helping veterans all as volunteers.

My husband and I are life members of the DAV and the Auxiliary. This is the Home Depot group from our area and I filmed this when they came out to finish the makeover of our building.
