Current Village News: July
The staff of the Orting Veterans Village are happy to announce that we have added two new regular support services for our Veterans. We now have a VA coffee support group meeting twice a month in our dining room. We also arranged for the Pierce County Library to come once a month and bring requested items to residents like books and DVDs. We continue to look for opportunities that enrich the lives of our residents. The community garden has produced its first fruits- a basket full of squash! We were happy to welcome the Mayor of Auburn for a visit this month and we had a lot of fun taking residents to Veteran Park in Buckley for a picnic.

Needs: The original twin mattresses that were purchased for the cottages are breaking down quickly and so we are in need of five twin mattresses and box springs. Logistically: we have four empty cabins, with three pending applications.

The Story
We 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 leased Quixote Communities 5+ acres at the Washington Soldiers Home in Orting. We broke ground in January 2020 and opened our doors in May of 2021. Because of the Covid 19 pandemic, we had a phased in move in with a total of 35 homeless veterans calling the village their home.

The Orting Veterans Village is on the land of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and Coast Salish peoples, whose ancestors have been here since time immemorial. We express deep gratitude for the local tribes who have supported our efforts to grow Quixote Communities to what it is today.
