Vacations for Veterans is a nonprofit created to provide recently wounded veterans free lodging donated by a vacation home owner or a bed and breakfast proprietor.
Regardless of your views on our foreign policy, I think everyone can agree that what our veterans do for our country is incredible honorable and they are not recognized enough for their service.
As vacation rental owners, we are in a unique position to offer our homes up and to give our wounded veterans a brief respite when they need it most. If you do offer your vacation rental, you have the final say on what dates your unit will be available.
On a personal note, I had the opportunity to offer one of my beach condos to a veteran a few months ago. VFV does the work to verify the Purple Heart status of the veteran and, if you wish, will put you in contact with the veteran directly. It was immensely gratifying to not only offer my condo up to this veteran and his family, but to receive the thank you note from him and his wife after their trip.
This year, please think about giving back to this outstanding organization. http://www.FindVacationRentals.com, http://www.FindBnB.com, and http://www.VacationSpaces.com are proud corporate sponsors.
Please visit http://www.VacationsForVeterans.org for more information on this organization and to learn how you can help. And while VFV needs inventory, they also are in need of financial donations which go directly to support the travel expenses of those veterans in need of financial aid.
