After serving 25 years in the U.S. Army, Ron Hernandez is still at service. For the past 13 years, Ron and his wife, Kimberly, have dedicated their lives to helping veterans attain their basic home needs and regain their independence.
Inside the Moving Veterans Forward warehouse are tables, chairs, shelves — everything a home may need. Unlike many thrift stores driven by profit, Moving Veterans Forward takes donations and donates it back to those in need.
In addition to furnishing homes, Moving Veterans Forward also stocks pantries. The warehouse is stocked with canned foods, cleaning supplies and even dog food.
An unofficial rendering of Moving Veterans Forward’s prospective Veteran Community includes a community building, gardens, an office, food court pod and 22 tiny homes.
