What is the Legacy Brick Campaign
The Legacy Brick Campaign gives you a direct way to support veteran housing while creating a permanent tribute. Each engraved brick becomes part of the physical foundation of the Sumter Project.
These bricks will be installed in shared community spaces, including walkways and gathering areas. Every name placed represents service, support, and commitment to long term solutions for veterans.
Why this matters
Veteran housing instability is not caused by one issue. It is driven by a combination of factors including trauma, income disruption, and limited access to consistent support systems. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports that thousands of veterans experience homelessness on any given night, with many facing long term barriers to stability.
Stable housing is the first step toward recovery.
Your participation in this campaign directly supports the development of permanent housing designed for stability, independence, and recovery.
This campaign supports both funding and awareness.

Who this is for
This campaign is designed for:
Families who want to honor a loved one
Veterans who want to represent their service

How this creates long-term impact
Legacy Bricks do more than recognize individuals. They help build a visible and lasting connection between the community and the mission.
They also strengthen engagement. Research shows that physical and visible contributions increase long term donor retention and community connection, which improves sustainability for nonprofit programs.
