We Need Help!]]>Wed, 10 Jun 2026 04:21:08 GMThttps://www.veteranscommunitycenterch.com/news-blog/urgent-we-need-helpSince opening our doors in 2013, the Veterans Community Center in Citrus Heights has grown steadily, becoming a vital gathering place for veterans, their families, and our community. What began as a modest space has evolved into a true hub of support, connection, and celebration.
However, our success has brought a growing challenge: limited parking. Even our regular programs and events are increasingly constrained, and hosting larger gatherings has become nearly impossible without additional space.
A few years ago, we were fortunate to rent the adjacent lot from its kind owner. That extra space allowed us to welcome much bigger crowds and serve our veterans more effectively. Now, that property is for sale. While the owner has been incredibly supportive of our mission, he needs to sell the lot. Without intervention, it could become multi-family housing—something that would severely limit our ability to host the events and programs our community depends on.
With the City’s blessing, the owner has given us the opportunity to purchase the lot ourselves. This would secure safe, accessible parking for the veterans, families, volunteers, and neighbors who rely on our center. But to make this possible, we need your help.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, all donations are tax-deductible. The fundraiser platform will automatically generate and email a tax-donation receipt directly to you. We are reaching out with open hearts to our community, friends, and supporters. Every contribution—large or small—brings us closer to preserving this vital space and ensuring we can continue fulfilling our mission: meeting the needs of every veteran and family member who turns to us for assistance, connection, and hope.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can secure a stronger future for our Veterans Community Center.

Please see the flyer below for details and the QR Code link to donate, as well as the other methods we are able to extend. Thank you!

We won't have any electricity while this work is going on, so rather than try to entertain in the dark (without coffee or lunch - YIKES!), we will close for the day and resume normalcy on Friday.
