Friends and neighbors,

The Men’s Grilled Dinner Group (MGDG) and the Ocean Ridge Charities Association (ORCA) are pleased to announce that the Veterans Welcome Home and Resource Center (VWHRC) will display a “Tiny House” at the Ridge Center on Tuesday, July 8, from 4:00pm to 7:00pm.

Beginning in January 2025, the MGDG and ORCA began collaborating on a fundraising effort to fund a VWHRC ‘Tiny House’ for a homeless veteran in Myrtle Beach. The collaboration surpassed both its initial goal of funding a Tiny House and its expanded goal of also sponsoring a Tiny House resident for three years.

Please come and see what ORP’s generosity and support are providing to a homeless veteran.

In addition to being able to walk through the Tiny House from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, we will be hosting an informal, BYOB Happy Hour in the Pelican and Egret rooms of the Ridge Center. Please bring your favorite libations and munchies so you can enjoy the afternoon with your friends and neighbors celebrating the extraordinary success of this charitable effort.

The MGDG and ORCA will present a ceremonial check to the VWHRC and provide an opportunity for Scott Dulebohn, VWHRC CEO, to say a few words about the Tiny House Village in Myrtle Beach.

The amazing generosity of ORP’s residents made this event possible. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about this worthwhile effort. 

More information about the incredible work being done by VWHRC can be found at vwhrc.org.

This announcement will also serve as a ‘last call’ for those who want to contribute and join over 250 of your neighbors in signing the mat of the painting commemorating this charitable undertaking. If you are interested in donating and signing the mat, please email Kyle Jones at jonesyhas2run@verizon.org. Checks should be made out to “ORCA”.

We hope to see you on July 8!
