“As they advertise, ‘Since 2014, Budget Blinds has been the official window coverings supplier for Homes for Our Troops (HFOT), a privately-funded, nonprofit organization that builds mortgage-free, specially adapted custom homes for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans.’ To date that partnership has resulted in more than 80 custom homes for brave service members.

“Budget Blinds of Lacey Owner Amber Snaza knows the military life well. A Yelm native, she has also been a globetrotting military wife. But now she’s happy to be home, helping others. ‘My family was one of the first families to homestead in the Yelm area,’ says Snaza. ‘You can say I have some deep roots here.
