Supporting Our Local Heroes

We are a dedicated 501(c)(3) organization founded by guard members and residents of Southwest Virginia, and our mission is to support our local soldiers and veterans. Each year, we set an ambitious goal to raise $50,000 to ensure we can adequately meet the needs of those who have served our country. With your help, we can achieve this goal and make a significant impact in the lives of our military community in SW Virginia. Your contributions will directly support programs and services that provide essential resources, assistance, and recognition for our soldiers and veterans. Join us in our mission to honor and uplift those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Together, we can create a stronger, more supportive environment for our heroes.
