Nonprofit organizations providing employment support for women
veterans, custom designed homes for injured veterans and frontline
support for veterans at risk for suicide are among the recent
recipients of gifts announced by the Advance Auto Parts Foundation
(AAPF). Totaling $1.75 million, the gifts were made possible by
donations to the foundation by more than 100 Advance Auto Parts
supplier partners.
This is the second year AAPF has made gifts to Hire Heroes USA
of Alpharetta, Ga., Building Homes for Heroes of Island Park, N.Y.
and Stop Soldier Suicide based in Durham, N.C., totaling $3.75
million during that time.
“The military veteran community is one of the Advance Auto Parts
Foundation’s three focus areas, and we are proud to partner with
our suppliers to support critical needs within that community,”
said Elisabeth Eisleben, president, Advance Auto Parts Foundation.
“Our veterans have earned the opportunity for meaningful
employment, appropriate housing and mental health care, all of
which are fundamental to their wellbeing.”
A previous gift from AAPF established Hire Heroes USA’s Women
Veterans Program, and the latest gift will actively support its
ongoing operations. The program features transition specialists and
support staff offering career services accommodating the unique
needs of women veterans and helped more than 2,000 women veterans
find employment last year.
Building Homes for Heroes, a longtime partner of Advance Auto
Parts and its supplier partners, will use its gift to fund the
Advance Auto Parts Foundation Rapid Response Program which provides
financial support to veterans in need, including emergency and
time-sensitive situations. AAPF provided funding for the program
last year when it aided 130 veterans and their families.
Stop Soldier Suicide will use its latest gift to maintain the
2023 wellness team expansion that was funded by an earlier AAPF
gift. The added capacity served more than 300 veterans with
zero-cost, personalized, suicide-specific care thus empowering them
to move forward.
“Each of these gifts will provide life-changing support to
deserving veterans across the U.S.,” said Eisleben. “Our
foundation’s leadership was pleased by what was accomplished by our
gifts to these organizations last year – literally thousands of
veterans were helped – and we look forward to additional support of
veterans and their families as AAPF remains focused on veteran
needs.”
