GBU Life's Metro Detroit Neighborhood is proud to participate in the upcoming Tunnel to Towers walk. This event honors the sacrifice of military service members, first responders, and their families while raising funds to support Tunnel to Towers programs that provide mortgage-free homes for Gold Star and fallen first responder families, smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans, and housing assistance and supportive services for veterans experiencing hardship. Together, these efforts help ensure our nation's heroes have a place to live with comfort, dignity, and hope. Whether you walk, donate, or help spread the word, your support can make a difference. Help support the GBUnited in Honor Team as we come together to remember, honor, and give back to those who have sacrificed so much.
