Since 1996, this 501(c)(3) non-profit has operated on historic Fort Ord land to provide meals, clothing, and housing to Veterans who are homeless or have been incarcerated. We are one of very few programs in the Nation that welcomes Veterans and their families, as well as pets.

The second annual Hope for Heroes Gala on April 4th was a tremendous success, thanks to the incredible generosity of our guests. We sincerely appreciate your support!

LCM provides revenue for VTC programs, employs Veterans, and diverts waste from the landfill. For donation information, visit LCM's website
