& Veterans Support

Supporting wounded and disabled veterans, homeless veterans, and any veteran in need with practical help, everyday essentials, and opportunities to move forward.

MORE THAN 10 YEARS OF INVOLVEMENT

Veterans Support

Paul has worked alongside founder Keven Oxley for more than 10 years to support Free Handyman for Wounded or Disabled Veterans and the Veterans Thrift Stores in Spokane.

What began as a home-handyman service for disabled veterans grew into a wider effort to meet the needs of veterans in the community. Together, Keven and Paul helped develop the service and the thrift-store work that followed.

The stores accept donated, previously used items and sell them to the public. Veterans in need can shop free for clothing, shoes, and other essentials. That includes homeless veterans, disabled veterans, and any veteran who needs support.

A place to shop.
A community of support.

Previously used items find a new purpose. Public shopping and donated goods help sustain stores where veterans in need can get essentials without cost.

Clothing and shoes

Practical everyday items help veterans meet immediate needs and move forward with dignity.

Home and accessibility support

The handyman service focuses on helping wounded or disabled veterans with home repairs and accessibility improvements.

Support when it is needed

The work extends to homeless veterans, disabled veterans, and other veterans facing difficult circumstances.

Two Spokane stores

After operating three stores, the organization has consolidated to two stores in Spokane. Visit the organization’s website for current store information.

HELP THAT MOVES PEOPLE FORWARD

More than 50 cars.
More possibilities.

The organization has given more than 50 cars to veterans in need. Reliable transportation can make everyday life, work, and appointments more accessible.

This work is part of Paul’s wider commitment to supporting veterans and giving back through practical, hands-on help.
