The Advance Auto Parts Foundation (AAPF), the charitable arm of Advance Auto Parts, has announced grants totaling $1.75 million to organizations supporting military veterans.

AAPF grants were awarded to nonprofits providing employment support for women veterans, custom designed homes for injured veterans, and frontline support for veterans at risk for suicide. Several of this year’s recipients also received AAPF grants last year, including Hire Heroes USA, Building Homes for Heroes, and Stop Soldier Suicide.

“Each of these gifts will provide life—changing support to deserving veterans across the U.S.,” said AAPF president Elisabeth Eisleben. “Our foundation’s leadership was pleased by what was accomplished by our gifts to these organizations last year—literally thousands of veterans were helped—and we look forward to additional support of veterans and their families as AAPF remains focused on veteran needs.”
