College Station, Texas – Bubba’s 33, a new restaurant located off Highway 6, has launched an initiative to support veterans through a fundraiser for Homes For Our Troops (HFOT). This effort will see the restaurant donating $1 from every Patriot Burger sold through the end of July.
The fundraiser aims to raise vital funds and awareness for nearly 2,000 post-9/11 veterans who have been severely injured in combat and are in urgent need of specially adapted housing. The initiative reflects both a commitment to veteran support and recognition of the challenges many face when trying to find suitable living arrangements that accommodate their physical needs.
Homes For Our Troops is a nonprofit organization that has been active since 2004. HFOT is dedicated to building and donating custom homes tailored for veterans who have sustained life-altering injuries, such as multiple amputations, paralysis, blindness, severe burns, or traumatic brain injuries (TBI). These specialized homes not only provide a safe living environment but also include essential accessibility features like open floor plans and roll-in showers that cater to the specific requirements of injured veterans.
For each Patriot Burger sold, the funds donated will significantly contribute to HFOT’s mission of enabling veterans to regain their independence and improve their quality of life. The organization works closely with each veteran to determine their desired location and incorporates their preferences and needs during the home construction process.
HFOT is a publicly funded 501(c)(3) nonprofit that directs a substantial portion of its resources—almost 90 cents of every dollar—toward program services for veterans. This efficient use of funds allows the organization to maintain and provide support long after the homes are handed over, ensuring that veterans receive the help they need throughout their transition to adapted living.
As the fundraiser continues through July, Bubba’s 33 aims not only to raise funds but also to enhance community awareness about the sacrifices made by veterans and the ongoing challenges they face in adapting to life after service. The partnership between the restaurant and HFOT underscores the importance of local businesses playing an active role in supporting the veteran community.
Homes For Our Troops has constructed hundreds of homes across the country, and its dedicated efforts have made a lasting impact on the lives of countless veterans and their families. The veteran community is one that continues to require attention and resources, and initiatives like the fundraiser at Bubba’s 33 are crucial in helping meet their needs.
For more information about Homes For Our Troops or to make a donation, individuals can visit HFOTUSA.org. The ongoing support from the community will play a significant role in helping veterans secure homes that truly meet their needs.
