Rock the Foundation Returns to the Westfield Armory April 18th to Support Housing for Veterans in Need

originally published: 04/12/2026

(WESTFIELD, NJ) -- On Saturday, April 18, 2026, the Foundation for Sustainable Veteran Housing (FSVH) will host its annual Rock the Foundation benefit concert at the Westfield Armory from 6:00pm to 10:30pm. This signature event brings together music, community, and purpose to support veterans in need of safe, stable housing.

The evening will feature live performances from Better Late, The Punctuals, Matthew Rossignol, The Regulators, Kobi Reese, and Christine Radlmann, along with food trucks, local vendors, and a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere designed to unite the community around a meaningful cause.

More than just a concert, Rock the Foundation is a powerful, community-driven initiative dedicated to addressing veteran homelessness and expanding access to critical resources for those who have served our country. This year’s event aims to raise $100,000 to support the development of 22 urgently needed homes for homeless veterans at Westfield’s American Legion Post 3.

“As this event has grown, so has its impact on the community and the lives of veterans in need,” said Tim Donovan, drummer from Better Late. “We saw an opportunity to elevate the experience with the foundation—bringing together an exceptional night of music that not only draws a strong crowd, but also generates meaningful support for a cause that truly matters.”

Tickets are available for purchase online, with both general admission and VIP experiences offered. The Westfield Armory is located at 500 Rahway Avenue in Westfield, New Jersey.

“Rock the Foundation represents the very best of what a community can do when it comes together with purpose,” said Joe Mindak, President of the Foundation and founder of Westfield, NJ. “Every ticket purchased and every dollar raised brings us one step closer to ensuring that the men and women who served our country have a place to call home. This is about dignity, stability, and honoring their service in a tangible way.”

More than 1,100 veterans in New Jersey experience homelessness on any given night. Rock the Foundation plays a critical role in raising both awareness and funds to address this urgent issue—turning community support into real, lasting impact.

Attendees will enjoy an unforgettable night of live entertainment while directly contributing to efforts that provide veterans with safe housing and a pathway toward long-term independence.

The Foundation for Sustainable Veteran Housing (FSVH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to combating homelessness among Veterans in the U.S. FSVH is dedicated to identifying, rebuilding, and maintaining current Veteran facilities across the country. By raising awareness and fundraising, FSVH is currently working to improve and maintain Veteran housing and facilities in several communities throughout New Jersey.
