Welcome to our resources webpage dedicated to supporting veterans in need. We focus on providing practical assistance through sustainable initiatives. Join us as we make a meaningful impact together.

Go Green Grab Bags

Discover Go Green Go Bags, an innovative initiative dedicated to supporting veterans in need. We craft sustainable solutions using recycled materials such as pillow cases and shower curtains, transforming them into "mini ruck sacks" or "go bags" filled with essential items for immediate and sustained support. Our approach fosters strong community bonds through partnerships with local VA's, elderly sewers, and businesses committed to environmental responsibility. Join us in making a meaningful impact on veterans' lives while promoting sustainability.

Free Washing

Community Unity 360 (CU360) is excited to partner with Roll Tide Laundry to offer a Free Wash Day for veterans. Located at 2408 N. Jackson Highway, Sheffield, AL 35660, this event takes place on the first Wednesday of every month from 11 AM to 4 PM. Veterans are invited to enjoy complimentary wash and dry services, with washing soaps provided. This initiative, made possible through the generous support of Derek Thoms and his family, exemplifies our commitment to supporting those who have bravely served our country. Join us in expressing our gratitude to the Thoms family and Roll Tide Laundry for their dedication to our veterans.
