Our Mission

The American Aid Foundation's mission is to provide humanitarian aid to those in need, whether it be from a disaster, health or economic related issues. Our programs provide much needed relief in ways such as delivering disaster relief, providing comfort and aid to homeless/disabled veterans and other homeless, providing positive life experiences to struggling children, Veterans and seniors and bringing public awareness to the needs of those in their time of need. The Foundation will always hold true to it's motto of "In Your Time Of Need... We Are There" because there is no more fulfilling a feeling then to know you were there to lend a hand to someone at the most neediest time in their life!

Outdoor Improvement Program (For Disabled Veteran's Homes)

We are proud of our newest program to help our disabled Veterans to have a front and back yard to be proud of and bring them many years of enjoyment. We have noticed over the years that when helping disabled Veterans make their homes (inside), functional for their disability, that the ourdoors of their homes were not in a condition that they deserved so this program is helping address this problem and allow them to enjoy their yards to relax in and have family and friends over. We are doing landscaping, fence repairs, cement repairs/additions. Please help us to fund this outstanding program by making a donation to help us reach many more Veterans.
