<p>自 2015 年以来，家得宝基金会已为帮助居家英雄计划贡献超过 2100 万美元，为老年退伍军人提供关键的房屋修缮和改造。</p>
<p>, /PRNewswire/ --在退伍军人节即将到来之际，Meals on Wheels America 和家得宝基金会自豪地宣布一个重要里程碑：通过十年的合作，已为 4000 个老年退伍军人修缮和改造了房屋。自 2015 年以来，家得宝基金会在 Meals on Wheels America 的帮助居家英雄计划中投资超过 2100 万美元，使希望在家中安享晚年的老年退伍军人的居住环境更加安全和便利——根据 AARP 的研究，这也是老年人的主要偏好。</p>

<p>第 4000 个修缮的房屋属于德克萨斯州奥斯丁的退伍军人胡安·洛佩斯。当冰风暴损坏了胡安的屋顶时，水开始渗入室内，霉菌对他妻子的健康造成了影响。为了让房子再次安全，胡安联系了中央德克萨斯的 Meals on Wheels。工作人员更换了他的屋顶，并进行了其他重大升级，替换了过时的窗户，安装了新的暖通空调设备，增加了带扶手的无障碍淋浴等——总计近 4 万美元的修缮工作。</p>
<p>“我们对与家得宝基金会的十年合作感到无比自豪。他们帮助弥补了联邦资金与私人慈善之间的差距，” Meals on Wheels America 的总裁兼首席执行官艾莉·霍兰德（Ellie Hollander）表示。“通过改善家庭安全和便利性，我们共同努力帮助老年退伍军人尽可能长时间地留在他们所爱的地方。”</p>
<p>虽然 Meals on Wheels 以向老年人提供营养餐和友好的探访而闻名，但该组织的影响远不止于此。当地提供者还促进独立、安全和整体福祉。不幸的是，这些提供者在很大程度上依赖联邦资金，而联邦资金并未跟上快速增长的老年人口和不断上升的运营成本的需求。只有 1% 的私人慈善资金用于老年人，因此来自家得宝基金会等合作伙伴的支持对于弥补这一差距至关重要。</p>
<p>“我们很荣幸能与 Meals on Wheels America 并肩作战，帮助我们国家的退伍军人获得他们应得的关怀和支持，” 家得宝基金会的肖恩·维萨尔（Sean Vissar）表示。“在这个退伍军人节，以及每一天，我们始终坚定致力于与 Meals on Wheels America 等合作伙伴合作，增强社区并服务那些曾为我们服务的人。”</p>
<p>Meals on Wheels 网络每年为近 36 万名退伍军人提供服务，Meals on Wheels 项目也很好地满足了老年退伍军人的需求。根据美国人口普查局的研究，老年退伍军人比其他老年人更可能有功能性残疾，而超过一半的 Meals on Wheels 项目提供房屋修缮和改造服务，这在一定程度上得益于家得宝基金会的支持。此外，约 43% 的老年退伍军人经历一种或多种孤立特征，而 Meals on Wheels 项目在应对孤独症流行方面非常有效。</p>

</div><p>, /PRNewswire/ --Just in time for Veteran's Day, Meals on Wheels America and The Home Depot Foundation are proud to announce a major milestone: 4,000 homes repaired and modified for senior veterans through their decade-long partnership. Since 2015, The Home Depot Foundation has invested more than $21 million in Meals on Wheels America's Helping Homebound Heroes program, making homes safer and more accessible for older veterans who wish to age in place – the overwhelming preference among seniors, according to AARP research.</p>

<p>The 4,000th home belongs to veteran Juan Lopez in Austin, Texas. When an ice storm damaged Juan's roof, water began leaking inside and mold took a toll on his wife's health. Desperate to make his house safe again, Juan reached out to Meals on Wheels Central Texas. Crews replaced his roof and made other major upgrades, replacing outdated windows, installing a new HVAC unit, adding a walk-in shower with grab bars and more – in total nearly $40,000 worth of work.</p>

</div><p>&#34;We couldn't be prouder about our ten-year partnership with The Home Depot Foundation. They help bridge the gap between federal funding and private philanthropy,&#34; said Ellie Hollander, president and CEO of Meals on Wheels America. &#34;By improving home safety and accessibility, we're working together to help senior veterans stay in the places they love, for as long as possible.&#34;</p>

</div><p>While Meals on Wheels is known for delivering nutritious meals and friendly visits to seniors, the organization's impact extends far beyond the plate. Local providers also promote independence, safety and overall well-being. Unfortunately, these providers rely heavily on federal funding, which hasn't kept pace with the needs of a rapidly growing senior population and rising operational costs. With only 1% of private philanthropy directed toward seniors, support from partners like The Home Depot Foundation is essential to closing that gap.</p>

</div><p>The Meals on Wheels network serves nearly 360,000 veterans each year, and Meals on Wheels programs are well positioned to meet the needs of aging veterans. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, research shows that older veterans are more likely to have a functional disability than other older adults, and more than half of Meals on Wheels programs offer home repair and modification services, in part thanks to the support of The Home Depot Foundation. Additionally, about 43 percent of older veterans experience one or more characteristics of isolation, and Meals on Wheels programs are highly effective at addressing the loneliness epidemic.</p>
