Local veterans from Thermal to Twenty-Nine Palms are joining forces to help their comrades needing housing with Desert jAMBOree, a charity fundraiser and entertainment event Dec. 8-10 hosted at the 21 Arrows Ranch in Thermal, California.

Daniel Belew, a founder of RescueResidence.org, also does his part to end veteran homelessness. Belew, who was once homeless and served as an active-duty Marine for 24 years, understands veterans' struggles. His non-profit charity is committed to providing housing assistance to veterans in need through a comprehensive three-phase program that addresses immediate housing needs, personal stabilization, job skills training, and a long-term housing solution by transforming retired ambulances into custom homes designed and constructed by program participants.

Join us for our premier fundraising festival of the year! This weekend event is an opportunity to unite and make a real difference for homeless veterans in California. With multiple bands performing each day, a great lineup of comedians on Saturday, and fun and exciting games like horseshoes, cornhole, and ladder toss, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, we will have auctions, guest speakers, food trucks, and vehicle conversion vendors to provide additional ways to support our cause.

As of 2020, it was reported that over 11,000 veterans were experiencing homelessness in California. However, our organization is determined to make a difference. Our mission is to help these veterans overcome two significant barriers to finding a permanent home and securing employment anywhere in the country. By identifying eligible veterans and providing them with the support they need, we can positively impact them and help them achieve their goals. We are committed to working towards a future where every veteran can access the resources they need to thrive.

A physical address is crucial when completing a job application or a resume. We offer a physical address on our site right from the beginning to facilitate this process for our program participants. While we work together to build a unique tiny home inside a retired ambulance, our recipients will also work towards defining their goals and aspirations. This will help them make meaningful progress towards a positive future.

If you or someone you know needs housing assistance in Coachella Valley, we are here to help. You can call us anytime, day or night, and we will provide the guidance and support needed to find suitable housing.
