Tsugapalooza ’17
Tsugapalooza ’17 is a benefit concert coming up on Friday, June 2nd with live bands, stand-up comedy and food vendors. Tickets are only $20 and admission comes with a free beer ticket. All proceeds benefit Oregon Summer Star. Tickets are available at
Oregon Summer Star (www.OregonSummerStar.info) is a custom summer camp for kids of military families. These kids helped provide stability for their families when a parent was deployed overseas, and many of them are still serving their families today as they address PTSD or a Wounded Warrior situation. The Tsuga Community Commission based in Portland brings all of these youth together from around the state for a full low-cost week of summer camp so they don’t feel as if they’re the only one’s in their class at school or in their neighborhood coping with this type of trauma-related stress.
Oregon Summer Star is not just one of the better summer camp programs in our state, but it’s also very intentional about the way it delivers social services to military families. Other than coming out to visit camp and see our work in action, there is a fun way coming up you can get involved and support this program.

Homes For Our Troops (HFOT)
About Homes for Our Troops
Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) is a privately funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post – 9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives. Most of these Veterans have sustained injuries including multiple limb amputations, partial or full paralysis, and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). These homes restore some of the freedom and independence our Veterans sacrificed while defending our country, and enable them to focus on their family, recovery, and rebuilding their lives. Since its inception in 2004, nearly 90 cents of every dollar has gone directly to our program services for Veterans. HFOT builds these homes where the Veteran chooses to live, and continues its relationship with the Veterans after home delivery to assist them with rebuilding their lives.
Building Homes and Rebuilding Lives
HFOT builds homes as a departure point for these Veterans to rebuild their lives, and once again become highly productive members of society. Despite their life-altering injuries, many of our Veterans have embarked on new careers, completed their college degrees, or started families. Empowered by the freedom a mortgage-free and specially adapted home brings, these Veterans can now focus on their recovery and returning to their life’s work of serving others. Many have embraced their roles as motivational speakers, sharing their messages of persevering through tragedy with groups and classrooms around the country; others take to a national platform to promote awareness of veteran suicide, homelessness and PTSD. Their incredible stories – far too numerous to include on one page – are the driving force for the work we do here at HFOT. We encourage you to read more about their amazing stories in this website.
