Dedicated to providing assistance to our brave service men and women. She could not help her father and other returning Vietnam veterans.

The Wounded Heroes Fund is a service organization for those Veterans affected by the war on terror in an effort to provide them with support and appreciation they need in their return to civilian life. The Wounded Heroes Fund (WHF) is a community-wide organization dedicated to providing assistance to brave service men and women returning home from the battlegrounds of Iraq and Afghanistan. Wendy Porter, the daughter of a Vietnam veteran, realized that more needed to be accomplished, especially for service members and their families to resume life after war. However, as Executive Director of the Wounded Heroes Fund, she is leading the effort to help the men and women who fought for our freedom in the Middle East.

🚐🇺🇸 WHF HAS A NEW VAN! 🇺🇸🚐

We are incredibly excited to share some BIG news with our community—Wounded Heroes Fund has a new van!

A huge thank you to Bill Wright Toyota and North Bakersfield Toyota for helping make this possible. Your support means so much more than a new vehicle—it means greater reliability, expanded outreach, and more opportunities for us to serve veterans and their families throughout Kern County.

From picking up food and supplies for our pantry, to supporting events and programs, to reaching veterans throughout our community, this van will be put to work in service of our local heroes.

We are grateful to have community partners who believe in our mission and continue to stand behind those who served.

New van. Same mission. Local Heroes. Local Help. 🇺🇸

Thank you, Bill Wright Toyota and North Bakersfield Toyota!
