Good360 Teams-up With Home Depot Foundation to Donate Mattresses to Omaha’s Homeless Veterans
OMAHA, Neb. —The Home Depot Foundation and Good360 donated 40 mattresses to New Visions Homeless Services to help homeless veterans in Omaha.
“They get a good night’s sleep,” said CEO and Founder of New Visions Harry Wallar. “They’re rested. They’re more willing to do things that they need to do to become self-sufficient.”
Wallar said at least 300 homeless veterans are in the Omaha area.
Walter Henderson said he was homeless for two years.
“When I was born, it was hard times. It’s still hard times, you know? Times are just going different. That’s all,” Henderson said.
