In 2025, our mission translated into meaningful support for those who serve. We provided 585 nights of rest and recovery to 48 law enforcement families across our two apartments, offering stability and relief during critical times. Officers and their loved ones traveled from across the country to receive care at Mayo Clinic, knowing they had a safe place to stay while focusing on healing.

Our move to a new complex marked a significant milestone and positioned us for future growth. Despite this progress, demand increased substantially in 2025, resulting in the denial of 471 nights of lodging that we were unable to accommodate.

As we look ahead, we welcome donations to help us meet this increasing need and continue supporting law enforcement families during their most challenging times. Together, we can ensure that no officer or their family is left behind.

Looking to the future, we are preparing to launch our new strategic plan in early 2026, outlining clear priorities and initiatives that will guide our continued growth and expand our impact.
