Project 4 Hope to host benefit dance for veterans on Sept. 8
BOSSIER CITY, La. (KSLA) - Doug Leavitt joined KSLA Thursday, Sept. 7 to tell us about Project 4 Hope’s mission and give us information about an event happening Friday that allows individuals to help veterans.
Project 4 Hope is building a community to help homeless veterans get the help they need in order to get back on their feet. They are on a mission to establish transitional living, life skills and training for those who are in need.

“Project 4 Hope is building a community out in Arcadia. It’s for homeless veterans; we’re putting little homes together. Our goal is to put our 40 homes on our 7.5 acre area,” Leavitt explained. “These homes are good, not only for the single induvial, but also for homeless families. That way they can get on their feet and get back in the community.”
The event will be held Sept. 7. Doors will open at 4:30 p.m.
“The Red Chute Review has donated their time and talent to play for us at the VFW 4588. And of course, they donated their home for us to use for this benefit dance to raise funds. It’s $10 and the first 100 are guaranteed a door prize,” Leavitt said.
The dance will take place at 1004 Jeter Street in Bossier City.
All proceeds will go to help with housing for veterans at the Project 4 Hope building site.
Project 4 Hope also has another event coming up Nov. 10-11 called The Louisiana Viking Feast.
