Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Military & Veterans Organizations, Veterans
Mission: Small goods. Large impact. From this simple ethos, SoldierStrong began its journey of helping service men and women through theirs. Back in 2009, we saw that soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan lacked some basic essentials – namely tube socks and baby wipes, cherished items in the harsh deserts of the Middle East. Moved to take action, we founded SoldierStrong. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq wound down and our ambitions to help grew, SoldierStrong's focus pivoted from providing goods to soldiers abroad to helping them thrive here at home. Our efforts quickly evolved beyond simple sock drives to scholarships for returning veterans and partnering with cutting-edge rehabilitation technology companies to literally get our heroes “back on their feet". SoldierStrong remains committed to its founding principles: providing our patriots with the resources and support they need to overcome obstacles new and old. While the goods that we now provide – state-of-the-art medical devices and educational opportunities at some of our nation's most prestigious institutions – are in no way small, our impact continues to be outsized.
