National Stone Remnant Sale to Benefit Homes for Vets

AUSTIN, Texas – A nationwide sale of stone remnants next month will help provide homes for special-needs veterans.

More than 15 members of the Artisan Group fabricator network will hold a National Yard Sale on Oct. 14-16, with three percent of proceeds going to Homes for Our Troops, a private non-profit group that builds specially-adapted homes and provides them at no cost to severely injured veterans.

“These soldiers have given their blood, sweat, tears and in some cases part of themselves to defend our rights and freedoms in this country,” says Chad Seiders, Artisan Group executive director. “It is a privilege to give something back to them.

“Artisan Group has earmarked a portion of our first national yard sale for Homes for Our Troops so that these veterans can have a home that provides them more independence.”

“Homes for Our Troops appreciates the fundraising efforts of the Artisan Group,” says  John Gonsalves, president and founder of Homes For Our Troops. “Because of the support from patriotic companies across the nation, we are able to restore freedom and independence back to our severely injured veterans through the gift of a specially adapted home.”
