Where no hero is forgotten

Welcome! Can you believe we are now celebrating our 25th anniversary?

We unite at Homefront Hugs Foundation, politics aside, to honor the men and women who have served and serve our country in all five military branches. Our goal is to make sure no hero is forgotten.

Right now many troops are injured and healing in hospitals worldwide so our mission Operation Healing Angel needs help. We are collecting handwritten cards, letters and art for our heroes healing and their hero caregivers in military hospitals worldwide. Please make sure to sign with at least a 1st name, city and state and if under 18, your age please .

Thousands more have deployed they might return from this ever expanding war with Iran. Military families are bracing for some very tough months ahead and yet never complaining about the sacrifices . No one wants war and we pray this ends soon.

Everyone has the opportunity to give thanks and support to our heroes now or give back to your communities in any way you choose in thanks for our freedoms. The thousands of students who have helped us the past 25 years have chosen where they want to give back and how, many mentored by our CEO with letters of reference for their careers, college and special programs they are pursuing.

This year has been extra meaningful with our nation’s 250th birthday and our own 25th anniversary of service here at Homefront Hugs Foundation. Our thanks go to the countless volunteers and supporters who make our charity shine every day.

Our service members are also our first responders there in any emergency, natural disaster and protecting our freedoms worldwide so we salute all our 1st responders at Homefront Hugs. In fact this month, we have a Homefront Hugs Kindness Contest for students to enter and entries are due by Halloween! 🎃

Our young and older volunteers are simply amazing giving thanks for their freedoms in hundreds of ways : focusing on diversity and accessibility, helping children and teens stay safe online, and reminding all ages it takes courage to ask for help and make sure our wellbeing - our emotional mental health is as important as our physical health.

Suicide prevention and building resilience and tools to survive crisis and trauma as well as preventing trauma are key for our missions. We are still losing 22+ troops and veterans to suicide every single day.
