THE HOME FRONT CARES
Add to my favorites Added to favorites!
Target demographics: Service members, veterans and their families
Direct beneficiaries per year: In FY2012, we provided grants to more than 530 Colorado military families.
Someone who had 3 hours of volunteer time could: greet flights of soldiers coming home from war as part of our Welcome Home Heroes program, staff an information/donation booth at a community event, or help with our annual fundraising dinner or golf tournament.
Geographic areas served: Colorado
Mission:
Provide emergency financial aid to meet critical needs of service members, veterans and their families. In the past few years, the need for our support has shifted significantly from the families of deployed military to veterans (and their families) of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Results:
Since 2003, The Home Front Cares has raised more than $4 million to help more than 2,000 Colorado service members, veterans and their families. Nearly 87 percent of all funds go directly to emergency financial aid and other programs.
