Volunteer Mission to deliver furniture to formerly homeless US Veterans throughout NYC or the Hudson Valley Region. Every once in a while, choose to make a difference with us.

My Brother Vinny provides furniture, housewares/home goods to formerly homeless US Veterans. This is not a simple sentence or easy task. This requires constant, tireless dedication & support from an organization that is 100% volunteer. The area we covered was not figured out. MBV without a plan in place formed an organization that is now the "Primary" resource for US Veterans starting. Because we believe our Veterans deserve to have a home that is their sanctuary. A place to rest at night in peace that has all the basic life essentials needed to start over.

Our veterans could have spent the last few years of their lives being homeless, struggling with depression, PTSD issues or a myriad of other issues that led them to seek support. This sobering reminder of how hard life is for them is the burden we lift by providing them with hope!

We continue to be the primary resource combating veteran homelessness in our area of service providing them with life essentials such as furniture, household items, and home goods. We provide the essentials to make a home into the sanctuary our veterans deserve. The success of our program is evident in the lives we touch. We can measure our success through the volume of veterans we have served since June 2013. The past three years we experienced a unique set of circumstances furnishing homes for the homeless veterans we supported through the pandemic.

We started serving veterans in June 2013, reaching our 1000th served in 7 years. We have served an additional 1000 in a little over 3 years. There has been an increased need for our services to ensure our veterans are able to start over in dignity.

We are looking for groups to volunteer with us. Join our volunteer family as we serve our veterans.

Way to help -

1) Create a team of volunteers - 2 to 6 people to join our crews to deliver surplus.

2) Lead teams overtime where volunteers can be given a mission. Load up trucks, deliver surplus and assemble items if necessary.

3) Run a donation drive for us.

4) Make an impact with us today.

"MOW to EMPOWER: A Veteran's Journey Home, ONE BLADE at a Time!"

Join a transformative act of KINDNESS! Help an AIR FORCE veteran secure her DREAM HOME through a one-time LAWN MOWING act, creating a lasting LEGACY of hope and honor


At the heart of our nation's tapestry lies an unsung heroine, a courageous veteran who has served our country with fortitude and honor, in the esteemed United States Air Force. Now in her golden years, she's seeking our support for a one-time act of compassion that could forever change her life's landscape.

This noble warrior of our times, a resilient woman in her late 60's, has set her sights on securing a place she can call home, a sanctuary she rightly deserves. Standing in the path of her dream is a humble patch of land, a verdant challenge that merely requires the merciful touch of a lawn mower.

The stage is thus set for your act of kindness to ring loud. All we need is a willing heart with the right equipment to swing by and mow down this final barrier. Let your actions echo as a tangible token of gratitude for her indomitable service, helping to create a haven for her to peacefully cherish.

This green endeavor is a part of the City of New Orleans' commendable Mow 2 Own program, a beacon of hope for those seeking solace in the space they inhabit. It's a grand opportunity to transform a once neglected lot adjacent to a tiny backyard, into a potential oasis through diligent care for a year before it could be purchased, saving it from the cold uncertainty of auction.

As a proud 501c3 non-profit organization, we are a sanctuary for those in need. Our expansive network of volunteers tirelessly serves to provide lawn relief to the elderly and veterans who need it the most. To ensure the safety of our valued volunteers, we offer robust volunteer accident insurance coverage.

Join us in this noble endeavor. Make a difference with your benevolent act, leaving an indelible mark on a life, forever echoing a story of resilience and kindness in the face of adversity. Remember, it's more than just a patch of grass. It's a chance to cultivate hope, one blade at a time.
