How We Help

Stable Housing

We’re building Fort Barnabas  as a bastion of hope and stability in guiding veterans on their path to wholeness.

Employment

Each veteran will work with their mentor and our network of employers to find employment that works with their needs and capabilities.

Mentorship

Every veteran in our program is assigned a single person–an individual who cares and is committed to making their veteran whole again.

Fort Barnabas

Located off of Old Jennings Road in Middleburg, FL, Fort Barnabas will stand as a bastion of hope and stability in guiding veterans on their path to stability. Fort Barnabas will be constructed as a mixture of portable tiny homes, or “Barnabas Bungalows,” and brick-and-mortar condo-style family homes.

      “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. 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,
