Orting Veterans Village
|
The Orting Veterans Village is a permanent supportive tiny house village for 35 homeless veteran heroes. We opened our doors in the spring of 2021. Please check out our Grand Opening Ceremony below and Live Q&A below!
The Orting Veterans Village does not currently need any household goods, hygiene products, food items, or clothing items donated at this time. This may change as more residents move in. For now, we are at maximum donation capacity (many thanks for our community!). We will announce when we need these items in the future. Thank you for understanding.
If you are wanting to donate items, please check our Amazon Wish List as we often update our needs there. Please note that the Washington Soldiers Home is currently closed to visitors due to COVID-19. To make an appointment, please email volunteer@quixotecommunities.org or call our office.
The Story
We have teamed up with the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs and the Puget Sound Veterans Hope Center to create a Tiny Home Village for homeless veterans in Orting, Washington. The WDVA has leased us 5+ acres at the Washington Soldiers Home in Orting. Because of the Covid 19 pandemic, we are doing a phased in move in with a total of 35 homeless veterans calling the village their home. We broke ground January 2020 and opened spring of 2021!
