As the sea of generosity began slowly drying up due to fears and uncertainty for our society’s physical and financial health, we faced a serious dilemma.

But we didn’t give up because deserving service members and veterans desperately needed our help. Grey Team volunteers persevered, observing social distancing precautions and working solo or in pairs, often late, late into the night, continued to sand, prime, paint, and build.

At the same time, we also reached out to veterans digitally, to keep them engaged with social media community and reduce their feelings of isolation and depression. In fact, Grey Team’s Facebook presence went from 112 followers to currently over 15,500 followers, without even opening our doors yet.

 We also took telephone calls from active-duty and veterans in crisis as far away as Texas,  providing the virtual community that we were unable to provide for them physically.
