I am thankful today to be warm and fed. Please donate warmth — socks, blankets, and warm clothes you no longer wear — to a local homeless shelter. #helpthehomeless #fortworth #texas #veterans #donatewarmththiswinter #cleanstartinitiative

Today is the third anniversary of the founding of Clean Start. Special thanks to @clairebearkern, @escregion11, @thepropergentleman, and my mom for all the time, effort, or toiletries they’ve donated in order to help homeless vets. When you’re a nonprofit that doesn’t accept money, those are the most valuable donations we receive. Thank you. . #thankyousomuch #everylittlebithelps #patriothouse #presbyteriannightshelter #fortworth #veterans #cleanstartinitiative #texasvets

Delivered our 2017 Summer Campaign donations. Clean Socks Campaign begins soon!

Donations delivered! Could not have done it without @thepropergentleman and Karen, who drove the giant van like a pro. The vets and program coordinators at Patriot House are doing amazing things to combat veteran homelessness, and helping those who help these vets is my goal. . If you are in DFW and have household items to donate to vets transitioning out of the program and into to their own homes, please contact Patriot House. . #patriothouse #fortworth #presbyteriannightshelter #thankyou #thepropergentleman #karenandhervan #toiletries #cleanstartinitiative #everylittlebithelps

I'm closing out the Summer Toiletry Drive at the end of August. Will be delivering thousands of mini shampoos, soaps, and other items to Patriot House in Fort Worth. If you want to help out their awesome transitional veteran program, please dig into those cabinets and drawers and donate your travel b***y. We also take full-size items that people have generously picked up while grocery shopping.

And a big thank you to for offering his assistance to deliver all these boxes! Just one more way DFW veterans come together to help one another out.
