<p>自 2015 年以來，家得寶基金會已為幫助居家英雄計劃貢獻超過 2100 萬美元，為老年退伍軍人提供關鍵的房屋修繕和改造。</p>
<p>, /PRNewswire/ --在退伍軍人節即將到來之際，Meals on Wheels America 和家得寶基金會自豪地宣佈一個重要里程碑：通過十年的合作，已為 4000 個老年退伍軍人修繕和改造了房屋。自 2015 年以來，家得寶基金會在 Meals on Wheels America 的幫助居家英雄計劃中投資超過 2100 萬美元，使希望在家中安享晚年的老年退伍軍人的居住環境更加安全和便利——根據 AARP 的研究，這也是老年人的主要偏好。</p>

<p>第 4000 個修繕的房屋屬於德克薩斯州奧斯丁的退伍軍人胡安·洛佩斯。當冰風暴損壞了胡安的屋頂時，水開始滲入室內，黴菌對他妻子的健康造成了影響。為了讓房子再次安全，胡安聯繫了中央德克薩斯的 Meals on Wheels。工作人員更換了他的屋頂，並進行了其他重大升級，替換了過時的窗户，安裝了新的暖通空調設備，增加了帶扶手的無障礙淋浴等——總計近 4 萬美元的修繕工作。</p>
<p>“我們對與家得寶基金會的十年合作感到無比自豪。他們幫助彌補了聯邦資金與私人慈善之間的差距，” Meals on Wheels America 的總裁兼首席執行官艾莉·霍蘭德（Ellie Hollander）表示。“通過改善家庭安全和便利性，我們共同努力幫助老年退伍軍人儘可能長時間地留在他們所愛的地方。”</p>
<p>雖然 Meals on Wheels 以向老年人提供營養餐和友好的探訪而聞名，但該組織的影響遠不止於此。當地提供者還促進獨立、安全和整體福祉。不幸的是，這些提供者在很大程度上依賴聯邦資金，而聯邦資金並未跟上快速增長的老年人口和不斷上升的運營成本的需求。只有 1% 的私人慈善資金用於老年人，因此來自家得寶基金會等合作伙伴的支持對於彌補這一差距至關重要。</p>
<p>“我們很榮幸能與 Meals on Wheels America 並肩作戰，幫助我們國家的退伍軍人獲得他們應得的關懷和支持，” 家得寶基金會的肖恩·維薩爾（Sean Vissar）表示。“在這個退伍軍人節，以及每一天，我們始終堅定致力於與 Meals on Wheels America 等合作伙伴合作，增強社區並服務那些曾為我們服務的人。”</p>
<p>Meals on Wheels 網絡每年為近 36 萬名退伍軍人提供服務，Meals on Wheels 項目也很好地滿足了老年退伍軍人的需求。根據美國人口普查局的研究，老年退伍軍人比其他老年人更可能有功能性殘疾，而超過一半的 Meals on Wheels 項目提供房屋修繕和改造服務，這在一定程度上得益於家得寶基金會的支持。此外，約 43% 的老年退伍軍人經歷一種或多種孤立特徵，而 Meals on Wheels 項目在應對孤獨症流行方面非常有效。</p>

<p>美國輪椅餐飲服務組織和家得寶基金會慶祝為退伍老兵修復的第 4,000 個家園的里程碑，自 2015 年以來投資超過 2100 萬美元。第 4,000 個家園屬於德克薩斯州奧斯丁的退伍軍人胡安·洛佩斯（Juan Lopez），他在風暴損壞後獲得了近 4 萬美元的修復。這一合作伙伴關係旨在提高老年退伍軍人的家庭安全性和無障礙性，以應對這一人羣在運營成本上升和聯邦資金有限的情況下日益增長的需求。輪椅餐飲服務每年為近 36 萬名退伍軍人提供服務，促進他們的獨立性和福祉</p>

<p><em>Since 2015, The Home Depot Foundation has contributed over $21 million to the Helping Homebound Heroes program, providing critical home repairs and modifications to senior veterans.</em></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>
