What a year 2024 has been for Mishawaka Troop Town! From generous donations to significant construction progress, this season has been nothing short of remarkable. Here’s a recap of the key moments that have shaped our journey to combat veteran homelessness this year.


 

February 29th Our "POP-UP with a Purpose" event was a massive success, raising over $4,000 for MTT. This incredible achievement highlights the generosity of our supporters and the commitment of our community to help veterans in need. A huge thank you to everyone involved—this victory is yours!


March 27th A heartfelt thanks goes out to Dave’s Pub for their unwavering support of Mishawaka Troop Town. Community partnerships like these help us continue our mission.


April 10th All five foundations for our veteran housing units have been poured! With water and sewer lines soon to follow, we are making strides toward turning these foundations into homes. We are actively navigating two major grant processes and are seeking annual sponsors. Every contribution, big or small, gets us closer to making these homes a reality!


April 11th Shoutout to Electric Local 153 for their generous donation! Without the support of our community members, none of this progress would be possible. Thank you for standing by our side.
