🔑 The Dodge House is proud to announce our FIRST-EVER Annual Keys to Hope Gala! 🔑Join us on Friday, November 13, 2026, at the Rutland Elks Lodge for a special evening dedicated to supporting The Dodge House and the veterans we serve.
The Keys to Hope Gala will bring together members of our community, local businesses, supporters, veterans, and friends of The Dodge House for an evening of food, fundraising, fellowship, and — most importantly — HOPE.
🇺🇸 ABOUT THE DODGE HOUSE
The Dodge House provides transitional housing and support to veterans experiencing homelessness as they work toward stability, independence, and permanent housing.
Our Gala is about more than raising money.
It's about opening doors.
It's about reminding our veterans that their community has not forgotten them.
And it's about giving them the support they need as they work toward the next chapter of their lives.

✨ Silent Auction
✨ 50/50 Raffle

🎤 KEYNOTE SPEAKER — JT DODGE
We are honored to announce that JT Dodge will serve as the keynote speaker for our inaugural Keys to Hope Gala.
JT is a member of The Dodge House Board of Directors and the son of the Dodge House's namesake.
We could not think of a more meaningful person to help us mark this milestone and celebrate the history, mission and future of The Dodge House.
🎁 SILENT AUCTION
We are currently collecting mid-range and high-end items, gift baskets, gift certificates, experiences, travel packages, artwork, merchandise, and other unique donations for our Silent Auction.
If we are fortunate enough to secure select premium items — such as vacations, travel packages or major experiences — those items may be featured in a Live Auction during the Gala.
