Our Front-Line Champions
“Offering A Hand Up Not A Hand Out”
At Operation Barnabas we firmly believe in the philosophy of offering veterans a hand up and not a hand out. This philosophy is based off the Biblical principles found in 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, which states “…make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.” Rather than offering veterans a temporary solution, we equip them with the skills, mindset, and confidence to not just escape their current situation but to continue living a stable and successful life–to thrive, not just survive.
Spring Street
Our vision for the Spring Street home is to be a bastion of hope and stability in guiding veterans on their path to stability. Spring Street is a 5 bedroom/3 bathroom historic structure in the heart of Green Cove Springs, FL. In partnership with Operation Lifeline, our housing program is for veterans experiencing homelessness, re-entry from incarceration, or other barriers to stable housing.
