The Engage For Good Podcast with Alli Murphy · 2023-11-28 · 39 min
In April 2023, Meals on Wheels America made an exciting announcement - a commitment of over $2.5 million from The Home Depot Foundation to support the expansion of the Helping Homebound Heroes program. This remarkable initiative, which The Home Depot Foundation has been actively involved with since 2015, focuses on providing essential home repairs and modifications for aging veterans. With this boost in funding, Helping Homebound Heroes is set to double its impact, expanding from eight to 16 markets nationwide. In today’s episode, EFG’s Alli Murphy is joined by Kelly Trimyer, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Meals on Wheels America, and Sean Vissar, Manager of National Programs and Strategic Partnerships for The Home Depot Foundation. Now entering its ninth year, the Helping Homebound Heroes program has touched the lives of over 2,000 veterans and the Home Depot Foundation has contributed more than $11 million and countless volunteer hours. While the Meals on Wheels of America’s community and geographic reach is large, the nonprofit has a modest staff of 50 and is working with a large corporate partner.
