How to compound the good done and difference made for Veterans

When does the good deed of painting a fence is more than simply painting a fence? When it can compound the good done and differences made.

With the support of Inner Voice and Invenergy, United Relief Foundation has launched a Standing Tall effort to combine the Foundation's Healing for Heroes and Home Sweet Home Lifelines using the 15 resident Eddie Beard Vet House in Chicago as a proving ground for the development of a Veterans’ transitional housing environment hope, help and healing model to compound the good that can be done and difference made for Veterans by linking the Foundation’s Holistic-Horticultural program and Boots on the Ground projects.

Compound the Good is a United Relief Foundation’s founding principle to engage others in a manner that would provide balanced benefits to all involved and possibly the Foundation's hope, help and healing model will be of additional (in the service of others) value, in whole or part, to individuals, organizations, and businesses with their own charitable endeavors to serve others.

United Relief Foundation is a Deerfield Illinois based 501(c)(3) humanitarian aid organization chartered as a not-for-profit by the State of Illinois on February 2, 2006. UnitedReliefFoundation.org
