Support the Mission

The Eight Fifty Committee does not rely on government funding alone. We raise funds directly from the community we serve because the gap between what veterans are promised and what they receive has never closed. Our auctions and raffles do more than raise money. They highlight the veteran-owned businesses, craftsmen, and service providers in our community. Every item you see here was donated or created by someone connected to our mission. A handcrafted picnic table built by our Vetworks team, a father and son who are both veterans and both licensed contractors. Gift card bundles from veteran-owned businesses listed in our directory. Hunting and outdoor packages assembled by veterans who found purpose in the field. When you bid on an auction item or buy a raffle ticket, you support veterans twice: once through the proceeds that fund our programs, and once through the recognition of the veteran businesses and individuals who made it possible. This is how we fund the work. Not with galas and overhead. With community, transparency, and purpose.
