PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — A local veteran was given a new home with the assistance of Home Depot and a partnership between a non profit.
Rebuilding Together Portland and the Home Depot Foundation helped Joe Thompkins to repair and clean his deck. They also pressure washed his walkways and removed debris.
The goal, according to officials, is for the veteran to live in a secure environment.
Home Depot plans to partner up with local and national nonprofits in order to finish service projects across the nation for National Volunteer Month.
