SUMMARY:VFW Make Over - Phase II
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 7\, 2026 @ 9:00 am\n1049 Veterans Dr\, Abilene TX\nDyess We Care Team VFW Renovation Project \nFor generations\, the Veterans of Foreign Wars has stood as more than just a building—it is a sanctuary. A place where stories are shared\, burdens are set down\, and no veteran stands alone. The VFW represents sacrifice\, service\, and the unbreakable bond between those who have worn the uniform and the nation they defended. \nNow\, it’s our turn to serve them.\nThe Dyess We Care Team is proud to take on a multi-weekend renovation of our local VFW—an investment not just in a facility\, but in the men and women who rely on it. This space supports combat veterans\, active-duty service members\, and military families. It hosts meetings\, remembrance ceremonies\, peer support\, and moments of healing that will continue long after the paint dries and the tools are packed away.\nThis project is about legacy.\nIt’s about ensuring that when a veteran walks through those doors—today or twenty years from now—they feel honored\, welcomed\, and remembered.\nWe will be working over several weekends with two shifts each day:\nMorning Shift: 0900\nAfternoon Shift: 1300\nIf you want to put in a full day of service\, we encourage you to sign up for both shifts. For those working both\, lunch will be provided—our way of taking care of the team that’s taking care of our veterans. \nCLICK HERE TO VOLUNTEER\n
