The organization vision started in 2008 with a single person having a dream to support and encourage our military men and women at war. Having been in the military and also a disabled vet, Ron Hayman has experienced the joy of getting support from home and seeing the agony of receiving nothing from home. When he makes a new contact, he always asks who is not receiving support. He achieved a 501c3 charity status while sending packages to the war zone by October 2012 when he was granted the determination letter. In 2016 he was able to ship over 100 packages when the goal was 50. We have two modes of support to our deployed military and veterans.
1. Send Military Care Packages to the war zone. Procure content to place in the boxes such as snacks, toiletries, first aid items, reading materials, games, movies and puzzles, cards, letters, AT&T Challenge Coins, letters and phone cards, and other content as available.
2. Military Care Packages for homeless vets in the local footprint. We will supply similar items that we send to deployed troops with the addition of soluble soap which requires no rinsing and other items tailored for homeless men and women vets. TESTIMONIALS:
