HomeWork 4 Heroes mobilizes high school and college volunteers to deliver free home repairs, yard work, and relocation help to Veterans, First Responders, and Teachers across Central Virginia.
They answered the call when it mattered most. Now some come home to leaking roofs, overgrown yards, and repairs they can't manage alone. No veteran should have to choose between paying a contractor and paying for groceries.
The men and women who show up at 3 a.m. when the rest of us are sleeping. Their days off are short. Their to-do lists are long. We show up so they can rest.
They spend their own money on classroom supplies and their own weekends on lesson plans. When the gutters overflow or the fence falls down, it shouldn't be another thing they handle alone.
Sign up online — tell us who you are, your school or group, and when you're available.
Get matched with a project — we pair your team with a local family that needs help.
Show up and serve — arrive on project day, work alongside your crew, and see the difference before you leave.
Real stories from the families we've served — coming soon.
Your weekends can mean more than homework. Pick up a paintbrush, grab a rake, and help a neighbor who served this community long before you did.
Sign Up to ServeIf you're a Veteran, First Responder, or Teacher in Central Virginia, you don't have to handle it alone. Tell us what you need — we'll bring the crew.
Request ServiceWithout funding, projects stall. Families wait. The distance between those who serve and those who help them grows wider every season.
Covers paint, hardware, and basic materials for a single project day. You're putting tools in a student's hands and a fresh coat on someone's front porch.
