The Members Club at Marco's Champions for Charities group has donated $50,831 to Warrior Homes of Collier, a nonprofit that assists veterans in need with housing, mental health support and access to higher education.

The donation will further support Warrior Homes' efforts to provide supportive housing for local veterans.

The Members Club raised the money through its Champions for Charities' golf event at Hammock Bay Country Club. The group raises money for several organizations in Southwest Florida and has supported Warrior Homes of Collier for the past three years.

"We are greatly appreciative of the Members Club at Marco for their tremendous donation," said Dale Mullin, a retired Vietnam veteran, founder and president of Warrior Homes of Collier. "Their generosity gets us even closer to our goal of ending veterans' homelessness here in Collier County."

Warrior Homes of Collier operates six Naples residences for local veterans: Alpha House, a short-term, transitional home for those in recovery from substance use issues; Delta House, a supportive housing complex with 10 apartments for up to 20 veterans; as well as Bravo, Charlie, Echo and Foxtrot Houses, which provides long term supportive housing for Veterans.

In addition to temporary housing solutions, Warrior Homes connects veterans with support services like mental health counseling, peer support and educational opportunities, including college scholarships.

Of the charitable contributions made to Warrior Homes of Collier, 95% of funds are used directly to support its mission, with only 5% allocated to administrative expenses. To learn more about Warrior Homes of Collier, become a sponsor or donate, visit WWCollier.org.
