Homes For Our Troops

Support on every level
Stephen THomas supports Homes For Our Troops

Stephen Thomas Homes is a proud supporter of Homes for our Troops. We first became aware of this non-profit organization that builds specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans (for free) in March 2009. We received an invitation to volunteer for the SSG Dwayne A. Cole home being built in Eastern Henrico. Stephen Thomas Homes specializes in this type of EasyLiving housing, and we proudly volunteered to be the general contractor for this home, and are grateful for this tremendous opportunity to say ‘Thank You!’ to someone who has made more sacrifices for his fellow men and women than most of us will ever know.
