No veteran should have to fight alone. A few weeks ago, we were able to help an Army veteran in Ohio navigate a difficult chapter, we walked through the fire together. Hope starts with showing up.

You did it! 2025 was our first FULL year of operating and because of YOUR support, we were able to make a real impact in the lives of veterans and their families across the country.

In 2025, the hard-working 100% volunteer team at Shield Down worked with you all to make everything in this snapshot (and more!) happen, to keep the good fight going for those who need it most.

Nearly $12,000 went directly toward our mission in our very first full year. We are proud of that number, especially with having raised just under $13,500 in 2025.

To every donor, volunteer, partner, and veteran who trusted us along the way: THANK YOU, this is only the beginning.

Together we fight. Together we find hope.
