Outdoor Personia Launches 'Operation: Shed for a Vet' to Provide Free Storage Solutions for Veterans

Outdoor Personia has launched Operation: Shed for a Vet, a charitable campaign that will provide a free, professionally built storage shed to a United States veteran nominated by the public. The New England-based company is accepting nominations through its website until October 14, 2025, with the selected veteran receiving an 8' x 12' shed delivered by Veterans Day at no cost.

Founder Marcus Wenger stated this initiative serves as a way to thank veterans for their service while providing practical support for their homes. We want to recognize and honor a veteran who has served our country – and could really use the extra space or support at home, Wenger explained. The campaign reflects the company's broader commitment to community service, building on its annual Days of Service when staff volunteer their skills to support local homeowners and organizations.

The program allows community members to nominate veterans—whether neighbors, friends, or family members—by sharing their stories and explaining why they deserve the gift. Outdoor Personia is covering all materials, labor, and delivery costs as part of its donation, ensuring the veteran receives comprehensive support without any financial burden.

This initiative demonstrates how businesses can leverage their resources and expertise to make meaningful contributions to those who have served, addressing both recognition and practical needs for veterans in their communities. By providing functional storage space, the campaign helps veterans organize their homes more effectively, potentially improving their quality of life and daily living conditions.

The timing of the delivery, scheduled for Veterans Day, adds symbolic significance to the practical benefits, creating a meaningful connection between the gift and the national holiday honoring military service. This approach shows how corporate philanthropy can extend beyond financial donations to include specialized services and products that directly address specific community needs.
