In these unprecedented times, Bench Fashion Floors is honored to partner with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation builds mortgage-free smart homes for our most catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
Each home is designed to address the unique needs of each individual. Smart homes host a myriad of features such as automated doors and lighting, wider halls and doorways, special showers to accommodate wheelchairs, automatic door openers, cabinets, counters, and stovetops that can be raised and lowered, backup generators, and central heating and air conditioning systems that can be controlled by tablets.

These homes help our most severely injured veterans and first responders to reclaim their day-to-day independence. This year Bench Floors donated flooring materials and installation services to the construction of the esteemed USMC Sergeant Aaron Alonso’s Smart Home. Sgt. Alonso grew up in Jefferson Township, New Jersey, and felt the call to serve in the United States Marine Corps post the 9/11 attacks. On February 8, 2014, while on tour in Afghanistan Sgt. Alonso was critically injured after stepping on an improvised explosive device. Due to injuries sustained in the blast he lost both his legs. Sgt. Alonso loves the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and riding his ATV. He is looking forward to spending more time with his daughter and the accessibility of his Smart Home.
If you are a veteran or first responder with an injury that affects your mobility, you may be eligible to sign up for the Foundation’s smart home Program!
