Community Advocates and Leaders
Veteran leaders such as Mark Lamberty, former VFW Commander and 2024 Linn County Veteran of the Year, provide advocacy, leadership, and support for veterans throughout the region.
Together, these partnerships create a coordinated network of support that helps veterans access resources, build meaningful connections, and thrive within the community.
How the Community can Get Involved and Support financially
New Apartments will have a walkway laid with traditional bricks, each a commemoration of a Veteran deserving recognition. Purchase your brick today.
How You Can Create a Family Legacy
Purchase a Brick for $1000 and leave a lasting legacy for a Friend or Family Member who served in the Military. You can also simply buy a brick with your name to show your support for Veterans.
How it works
The new Y Veterans Housing apartment complex will have a walkway of dedicated bricks, each with a name and description on them. Each brick is $1000. You can buy as many bricks as you want. This walkway will be a dedicated area with special meaning and purpose. While you get to acknowledge a friend or family member, the Y Veterans Housing gets the benefit of your generosity to support wrap-around services for Veteran residents. It’s a win-win.
