What an incredible day of service and community!

Thurston County Mental Health and Veterans Court is deeply grateful to everyone who came together to make our Veteran Garden Community Build Day such a success. This project would not have been possible without the dedication and generosity of The Home Depot Foundation and Thurston County Food Bank. our amazing volunteers and partners.

A special thank you to the veterans in our community who showed up, worked hard, and supported one another...your commitment continues to inspire us all. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Home Depot for their support and materials, and to Thurston County Food Bank for helping keep our volunteers fueled and energized throughout the day.

Together, we didn’t just build a garden - we strengthened connections, created a space for growth and healing, and demonstrated the true power of community.

Thank you all for standing with our veterans

We couldn’t be more grateful for the generosity of Harnish Auto Family for donating hams to support our participants. Thank you to The Strophy Foundation and Harnish Auto Family for helping make a meaningful impact in our community. 🥰💖

💙 Thank You for Supporting Our Veterans & Mental Health Court Participants 💙

We are incredibly grateful to Harnish Auto Family and Steve & Amanda Zimmerman for their generous donation of hams to participants in Thurston County’s Veterans and Mental Health Court programs.

Because of your kindness, individuals working toward stability and healing can enjoy a meaningful meal and feel the support of a caring community. Acts like this go beyond food—they remind people that they are seen, valued, and not alone.

Thank you for helping make a real difference and for standing with those who are rebuilding their lives. 💙

A good reminder that setting boundaries doesn’t make us “bad," it helps us stay grounded and show up better for the people we support.

Grateful for the work we get to do every day. 💛🇺🇸
