American Hometown Veteran Assist, Inc. loosely formed in February 2007 as a small group of volunteers dedicated to raising funds to help (primarily) war-wounded veterans and their families residing within 100 miles of Fort White, FL. We incorporated in July that year as American Hometown Fundraiser, Inc.
In 2008, we reorganized, added a Director, re-named the corporation to better reflect what we do. In March, 2009, we were granted Tax-exempt Public Charity status, retroactive to our founding.
We don't seek notoriety. Our desire is to help make lives better in whatever small way we can for some of the veterans, and their families, who have sacrificed so much to keep us free and safe. We thank all veterans for their service, whether during war or peace. We recognize the challenge of “Keeping the Peace” will occasionally necessitate waging a war, & that even in peace time, a strong military presence is needed, continuing the personal sacrifices inherent in their service.
We are all volunteers. Nobody gets a paycheck & we strive to keep our operating expenses as low as possible. You won't see a lot of glitz around us - we are ardent subscribers to the "KISS Principle", and are committed to using the funds we receive to the maximum benefit of those who have given so much for all of us: Our Veterans & their families!
