A Big THANK YOU to ORCA and MGDG from VWHRC for support of
“Tiny Houses”
The Veterans Welcome Home & Resource Center recently acknowledged ORCA’s partnership with the Men’s Grilled Dinner Group which raised money to build a ‘Tiny House’ in Myrtle Beach and to support a homeless veteran’s occupancy for three years, after which time the vet should be in a position to fund his own housing.
ORCA was presented an acknowledgment, certificate of appreciation and a symbolic key. The insignia, developed by ORP resident Sergio Analco, will be displayed on the house.
We are very proud of our collaboration with the MGDG in raising this money in just six months.

ORCA Thanks the Men's Grilled Dinner Group!
Ocean Ridge Charities Association (ORCA) sends a huge 'thank you' to the Men's Grilled Dinner Group (MGDG) for their terrific support.
At their recent meeting, the group solicited donations and conducted a raffle in support of the Veterans Welcome Home Center, whose mission is to end veteran homelessness... by helping vets with job placement, claims filing, temporary shelter, etc..
Seen above, Mary Perno, ORCA fundraising co-chair, accepts the $800 donation from group members.

Thanks again to all the 'Meatheads' - as this group is fondly known.
