H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc.

I kept hearing about this place from other veterans. I applied and got scheduled quickly, the staff were phenomenal and didn’t make me feel bad or less. They were patient with me through out the whole experience. I felt guilty for being able to get something for free so I haven’t been back but I always tell my fellow veterans that may be in need. This is an amazing big company.

The staff is very friendly, courteous, helpful. They show you how the program works.

HEROS DEPOT gave me a suit rthat I could not normaly afford. I have been wearing it for all special occasions

I’am a proud veteran who needs help from time to time & this Heroes charity really helps me fill in the gaps. If you’re a veteran that may need assistance look these people up . Their friendly & may be able to help you to to fill in your needs to.

I had never asked for assistance before from any agency, but my veteran brother suggested I sign up, as a veteran myself, living on social security only. It was super easy to sign up. When my appointment time came I was greeted in such a friendly and warm way (thank you Barb!) my awkwardness was eased and I almost cried. I was amazed at the variety of items available - food, clothing, toiletries, cleaning supplies, kitchen gadgets, baby and pet items - just an amazing abundance of goods to choose from. Yes, YOU get to choose what you need. I felt a great relief wash over me, and gratitude that so many people and companies had contributed these necessities for daily living for people like me, who are treading water and trying not to sink. I cannot thank H.E.R.O.E.S. Care enough for their generosity and most of all for the kindness with which it is given, I have not been made to feel "small" for needing help.

My family and I have been using H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc. for over a year. We have been extremely pleased with the benefits we receive and the workers that go out of there way to help. It is a very pleasant atmosphere and I would highly recommend it. Veterans surely need these programs to help them in these most difficult times. I would also like to say "thanks" to the donors for the products we are able to choose from. It couldn't happen without you.

I was truly impressed by this incredible organization. They offer everything you could need—free food, clothing, toys for kids, cleaning supplies, and more. After moving to the area, I took my kids there, and we had a fantastic experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly, the location was spotless, and the variety of items available was outstanding. My kids were thrilled to pick out a toy, and I was so grateful for the free food and cleaning supplies. It was a wonderful, supportive experience that made us feel right at home.

i tell every vet i know about heros care,,,which helps those in need with food and clothing and other items,,,it has help with veteran affairs,,such as help with applying for disability compensation applications..i have been totally satisfied with my expierience with the program

I'd been looking for a suit and heard from another Veteran about HEROES Care. He told me of his experience and said all I needed to do is call ahead and go there and take my DD214. I was amazed at the things they provide. My wife went too, and we got several items we needed. I found a suit then they said, well you will need a shirt and tie and helped with that. Then they mentioned shoes and a belt so got that also. What a wonderful experience. Very friendly and helpful staff they were great. And, most importantly I want to say thank you very much for helping this old Veteran. It's great to be recognized and appetited. God Bless you and the people who send you their items for caring.

This is an exceptional program that finally allows the Vets to be recognized for their service to our country. The VETS have been overlooked for such a long time. This program makes me feel appreciated finally. I look forward to this program especially since I am retired and living on a fixed income. The products are great quality and I look forward to coming. A big THANK YOU to whoever started this program!

They were truly a blessing to me and my family. I was able to get many items that helped out in my home and life and I look forward to visiting again.

So as prices rise, my husband going on a one year (up to two year) unaccompanied to the middle of nowhere, we found out about heros’ care. They are amazing. They are friendly, ans help tremendously. Items we not only food, but house care items clothes, socks, shoes! Chargers( for the teens that miss placed the other charger.) gifts for the small children. Small appliances for the house. Diapers, wipes, and towels. There is so much more they help with, not only to active duty, but also veterans such as my mother. Most are on extremely tight incomes, if not for here they may not have access to so many items. The staff is helpful, as well qs compassionate.

Amazing people who give back out of the goodness of their hearts. It take a lot of organizing, coordinating, and setup to allow H.E.R.O.E.S Care to do what it does. They are a blessing for both those who come to volunteer and those who need their services. If you have free time and want to give back, or have a need that they can help meet, call them.

Heroes care does great work for the veterans. My son and I are both military and it helped us out allot to get to shop at heroes cares just to take the edge off of a tight few months! Thanks so much!

It help alot with us veteran homes that need help my only problem is that I can’t bet by there for help becuase I would be able to make it there and since that is Cade we have missed several meals we make sure the kids eat and and I usually go to bed hungry most pays but I am glad the place exists

Mission depot has helped our family out a lot and I mean A LOT! Because of them I was able to get pull ups, clothes, bedroom accessories (blanket, pillow etc). Also some shoes. Nice, fancy dresses that we majority of the time can’t afford. Even nice dress suits for the gentlemen. The big item has always came in clutch as a lot of it we definitely can’t afford. This has been a HUGE BLESSING for our family and we are all super thankful for everything. What you guys do is amazing and such a blessing to everyone. Thank you

Super helpful and understanding. However, I was told I could originally go once a month, called to make an appointment for July and was told I had to wait 3 months from the time of the first one to come again. Not really convenient, the amount of stuff you’re allowed won’t last that long, communication needs to be better, and why three months between? Jeebus.

Great Place to go to for personal needs and behoned

What an amazing organization! Bravo! I absolutely look forward to my "supermarket sweep". Haha, that's what I tell my kiddos it feels like. I fill my pantry with all the necessities for a whole month! Thank you so much for what you do. Our entire family benefits from this kindness.

I’ve had two trips to H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc this year. I’m a Vietnam Era Veteran and have several health issues, so I so appreciate how the process works and the help given while choosing items. I went with a friend, which is how I found out about this organization, so I had an idea of what items I might need. I especially like the canned foods, which allows me to make easy meals. The other variety of items are also so appreciated and are items that I could not really afford on my fixed income. Volunteers are so pleasant and helpful. They are always surprised that I don’t get more items, but I try to take things that I can use! No babies, men or pets in my household, so I don’t touch those items. I do not feel that I am embarrassed by using their services as I have served my country and put my career on hold for the years I served, so when I entered the workforce, although I was thoroughly qualified, due to Navy training and using the GI Bill to finish my Associate Degree, I, as a woman in the 70-80’s, only got hired as my company had a government contract, I got my foot in the door, but I was ten years older than my co-workers, and was hired in at a lower salary, a very common practice for women in the workforce at that time.

This was an awesome experience. I was very nervous since this was the first time we have ever used the service. The wonderful ladies made the whole thing painless and helped us out the whole time.

The other thing I have to mention was the orientation I over heard from some of the volunteers. The gentleman that was speaking took great care to explain the trained mentality of a person who has been in the military so that the volunteers can empathize with the servicemen and women in a way that makes everyone feel welcomed and safe. His talk on trained combat behaviors needs to be shared with every professional service out there.

Thank you again for providing a system of support for all of us.

God Bless,

Corey Phillips.

HELPS GREATLY WITH FOOD ITEMS; SOME CLOTHING, MANY UNEXPECTED ITEMS
THANKS SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

I was totally surprised to learn of Hero's Care. The first time I had went, I was greeted by friendly workers who explained to me why it existed and how it helps us veterans. I can not say enough about Hero's Care, it has helped a lot, and I would definitely recommend other veterans to take advantage of this service. My thanks to all the workers and staff, donors to the program. This would not be possible without them. Thank you.

Great useful items/ Very clean/ organized and friendly staff.

The staff is very nice and helpful with pulling items from different departments. I appreciate, all the support and help from the Hero"s Care.

This place is amazing. I'm a veteran working with active duty who informed me about the Mission Depot. I would have never of guessed the assistance that's available here. The volunteers were so helpful and courteous.
Greatly appreciated..

Very exceptional group of people. friendly and helpful...

This was amazing all of the options everything new. The volunteers were really helpful.
Thank you so much for your assistance. I appreciate all of you help!

This was amazing all of the options everything new. The volunteers were really helpful,

Ted was great and had the best attitude. Carolyn was the best asistant.

outstanding service and an incredible experience. A great opportunity for Veterans.

Heroes Care is like waking up on Christmas morning and rushing down the stairs to see what Santa brought. The workers are just like elves; they are cheerful, friendly and very helpful! I loved my experience here and I cannot wait to come back. I recommend Heroes Care to all the military people I interact with. Thank you!

As a social worker for 30 years, it has been a pleasure to provide services that allow a "start to finish" provision of care. Working with active duty military and veterans was a change of clientele for me. It has been an honor and a pleasure to meet many of them face to face. My priority in taking this position was to offer support to those that have defended, or our defending, our country. I have been given the latitude to do just that. To be able to offer on-going support has resulted in creating an environment where our heroes are able to feel appreciated and welcomed. Mission Depot, the most recent addition to the agency, has proven to be a wonderful experience for those who have visited. Super fun to see how excited and in awe they are with what we can provide!

I have been volunteering for 4 years and love to see the service men smile when they get something they are looking for and sometimes something they are not looking for.

I FIRST GOT INVOLVED WITH HEROES CARE AS A VOLUNTEER EVENT THAT THE KUWANIS CLUB HAD INTRODUCED ME TO. AFTER THAT FIRST EXPERIENCE, I WAS HOOKED WITH WHAT THIS ORGANIZATION WAS ABOUT. I WAS SO MOVED BY WHAT RESOURCES WERE OFFERED HERE, I WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT IT! I AM AN ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBER MYSELF, AND BEING ON BOTH ENDS TO WHAT THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES, IS ASTONISHING. EACH TIME I COME BY THERE IS SOMETHING NEW THAT IS OFFERED FOR SERVICE MEMBERS, VETS AND THEIR FAMILIES. TO KNOW THAT THISE LEVEL OF SUPPORT IS OUT HERE FOR US ALL, IS JUST AMAZING. HEROES CARE AND JON REALLY MAKE US FEEL SO APPRECIATED AND GIVES ME A GOOD FEELING KNOW THAT THEY CAN SEE THE SACFRIFICES THAT WE MAKE. THANK YOU HEROES CARE FOR GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND!!

Hero's Care has been a jewel during my time here in St. Louis. It has provided my family with the opportunity to save money during these times during the rising cost of prices on everything. We love them and greatly appreciate them for all they do for service members, veterans, and the St. Louis community.

Help me save $100 on self-care, and cleaning Supples!

It was a great experience to volunteer and help out and sort things out for the community. I saved so much money on essential items needed for the family. Great program!!

This organization is azung and helped me in a time of need with items i was needin and even called ad checked on me to make sure i got my items and i am super happy an dplease and very gratful for HEROES Care because they are my hero

I was truely impressed and stunned at the things that were offered to us and genuinely appreciated being allowed to being invited to participate in this event.
Thank you for this great service.
Elmer Hardester

i have been a volunteer with this wonderful organization for over three years. They have helped out not only our military but all our LEO's and some Police family friendly events that have been hundreds of children and adults. They have never asked for anything in return but to send those in the military or LEO's there way if help is needed. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Outstanding support for Scott AFB's Tuskegee Airman Organization and veterans in the area!!! Really appreciated the Suits for our Veterans and Active Duty Military Members! Jon was extremely helpful and provided great guidance and customer service along with the volunteers that help transfer the merchandise. Thanks again to a successful 2022 event!

This organization is absolutely incredible at helping our military and their families. They have been such a huge blessing and help. I’m a SFRG leader for the 445th chemical company and I can always count on HEROES Care giving top rate service to boost the morale of our soldiers and their families. They do incredible work.
-Ashley Clark

This organization is amazing and helps so many families in so many ways. They take the time to listen to each person, and let you know what they can help with. They are just simply amazing, and I’m lucky to be able to have them around us!

Every single person at H.E.R.O.E.S. Care has the biggest heart for my brothers and sisters of our armed forces as well as our surrounding Fire, EMT, and Police. In my eyes it is the workers and volunteers at H.E.R.O.E.S. Care that are the true Heroes. I have worked with the this group for many years now and they never disappoint! Thank you all for your support to all of us!

Heroes Cares is 100% THE BEST non-profit for veterans. I had an issue with a USERRA violation where my employer would not take me back after active duty. Heroes Cares is the only foundation we worked with that actually listened to my story and stepped in to help right away. There was a feeling of true caring and hope. Because of Cindy at Heroes cares my family will be able to keep our only vehicle. I am so appreciative of this organization and thankful that I had the chance to talk to Cindy along the way.

I recently had gone through a move that I wasn't expecting in my life with my health . I Sold my home 6 years ago in Pensacola FL due to my health getting worse ( COPD ) in wheelchair now . I moved to the NAS Pensacola base housing . After 6 years they changed rules on renting so several Disabled and retired Veterans were basically evicted having to find new homes , renting or buying . Renting off base was so expensive I decided to buy again . Moving day came and movers I had moved some stuff and then took Money and left me high n dry , I had to hire another company to move rest of my belongings . I was in my home but being in wheel chair , no family etc .. I was struggling furniture and boxes everywhere . Veterans united talked to me and was concerned so reached out to H.E.R.O.E.S. Care . I was contacted by Cindy (so awesome) Helped because My wheel chair broke and I was in manual chair , and being on oxygen 24/7 I was struggling getting around , and hurting due to nothing moved in home most items were piled into one room . heroes Care came to my rescue and got items moved !! I still am fighting with VA and company to get my wheel chair fixed but came somewhat live normal again Thanks to Heroes Care !! Thank You so MUCH Gary

The entire staff is amazing! They will let you know if the organization can assist you in any way.

This group has helped me tremendously, I honestly do not know where to start. They have cared for upwards of 50 of my fellow Airmen in deployed zones sending loads of care packages. The kindness supported by them and the joy they brought those men and women away from home is insurmountable.

They have brought in tons of my younger troops who had no real belongings and assisted them with getting settled into a new area away from home.

They have helped some of the Men and woman I work with in getting attached to funding for school and other life issues. I honestly cant say enough about how great they all are there.

So incredibly friendly and helpful caring to our service men and women.

While I've not been a part of it I also know they help inner city youth, under privileged members and homeless veteran's.

I've volunteered with them and been helped by them on many occasions I absolutely adore working with this org.

My air conditioning went out on the hottest weekend of the year a few months after my husband deployed. I called y local repairman and he got it fixed before the weekend was over. H.E.R.O.S. paid the amount it cost me on my next utility bill. It was really awesome to have this help this deployment.

Hello,

my name is Ian and i am a former sailor stationed out of San Diego California, out of my two deployments H.E.R.O.E.S. Care has has provided not just me but my entire department with care packages. this act was a huge moral booster for my team when working conditions are harsh, days are long and food is poor. Also they have provided my fathers organization for community out reach in Hazelwood that helps families in need at Christmas time with food and clothing items when fallen on hard times. This is definitely an honest organization were donations and community involvement should be applied.

Thank You HEROES care

H.E.R.O.E.S. Care has been more than generous in the support of our department during periods of civil unrest and COVID Epidemic. The donations of food, water, energy bars and PPE that were donated helped maintain moral and keep our officers safe.

The charity work performed by H.E.R.O.E.S. Care in the St Louis Metropolitan area is a great asset to the community, first responders and military,

I have volunteered for H.E.R.O.S care many times! Each time I have gotten to see the amazing things they can do to help our military community and their families. One of the ways they have been a tremendous help is with their event suits for soldiers in the Fenton/ St. Louis MO area. This event has helped soldiers and their family's dress for success and have an outfit ready for interviews, formal events, or even office events. This organization can help in so many ways and we appreciate everything they do for us! They have also hosted other events such as coats and coffee which helps supply families with coats for the winter to those that don't have one or are in need of a new one.

Great organization. Really doing a great job taking care of our heroes!

I love volunteering at Heroes Care. I went with a friend once and keep on coming. Great people, lots of fun. Always something to do. Lots of laughs!!!

I was injured at my job and did my light duty work there. I was amazed at how much care that Heroes Care offered our veterans and current military members, but I was BLOWN AWAY about how they take care of their families during and after their deployment! So i had to figure out how to come aboard long term.

H.E.R.O.E.S CARE INC is a phenominal organization that continues to provide my precinct with goodies, so we never go without!!! They always go above and to ensure we have the best of the best and they are so greatly appreciated.

I have complete respect and trust with this non profit. Helped me obtain what I needed to resource and navigate quickly. Wanted to help even when I hadn’t responded due to health issues. We’re persistent to make sure I was okay.

Made sure monthly to initiate contact. My only regret is not being more respectful and answering them sooner. As my health was declining, there willingness to want to help was beyond appreciated.

Thank you for what you do to help our service members and veterans.

This organization is a life saver!! A few weeks after my husband deployed my mother suddenly passed away. While focusing on 2 kiddos under the age of 10 and taking care of family obligations and funeral needs, I woke up to a bat in our attic at 3 am. I contacted H.E.R.O.E.S. Care to see if they could help cover any expenses for Animal Control. The vendor came to our house and patched up a few areas where there was potential problem areas for critters to get in our home. H.E.R.O.E.S Care spoke with the vendor to cover the expense while I could focus on caring for my family and spending time with my family during our loss. This was one less stress that was lifted because of H.E.R.O.E.S. Care. Thank you so much.

We had nearly given up and was trying to face the fact there really wasn't the kind of help we needed available anywhere. And then the phone rang just after receiving an email containing the same news! My husband, who is an Army Veteran had been approved for assistance to secure his 100+ year old family home, our home. It was scheduled to be sold on on the County court house steps for real estate back taxes in August after falling behind because of a disabling assault some years back.
This organization has individuals working for veterans and their families who are answering prayers for so many. We felt like family when we arrived at their facility and I was left speechless with every single act of kindness and generosity. Thank you Heroes Care!

H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc. has been wonderful to work with. They've assisted our Soldiers and Family members with essential items and services. We will continue to work with them to provide outreach, goods, and services for our team on Fort Leonard Wood. I encourage any service member or family to reach out if you're looking to provide support to the military community.

This is an AWESOME organization that assists the veterans in so many ways. I was so IMPRESSED with their mission and all the efforts they put in to assist the vets and their families. The staff is sooo incredibly DEDICATED and constantly continues to go way out of their way to meet the needs of each individual. It is hearwarming and rewarding to be apart of this organization to voulunteer at and watch the team work together. This is an organization that really CARES!

As long time volunteer for many different charities i have to say that Heroes Care is my favorite Charity. They do such a great job taking care of veterans and their needs in so many ways, including their families; providing them with essentials for everyday life.

As a volunteer, 30 year military spouse and military mother of 2, I treasure and appreciate the work of H E R O E S care. Their understanding of the needs of our Military personnel and their families is awesome and on point. I cannot express how much I appreciate all of the work and compassion of the members of HEROES Care.

Heroes Care offers current military, military families and veterans incredible support. It feels like an honor volunteering for this organization. Everyone who works here and volunteers has been friendly and professional.

Great organization that goes above and beyond for military veterans and their families! Voluntering for H.E.R.O.E.S. Care has been a wonderful opportunity.

WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION. PROVIDES A WIDE RANGE OF SERVICES AND LEAVES A LASTING IMPACT ON FAMILIES.

I started volunteering for HEROES Care a few months ago. They are very welcoming, friendly, and flexible. My friend and I volunteer once a week together and we always look forward to coming.

I have been volunteering for a couple months now and am very proud to be a part of this organization. I feel that my time is well spent and I am grateful there are organizations like H.E.R.O.E.S. Care that make such a difference in the lives of others.

absolutely love volunteering with heros care. wonderful people to work for. friendly enviroment & kind people all around.

H.E.R.O.E.S. Care staff is very friendly, and help Veterans in need in a timely manner. H.E.R.O.E.S. Care staff cares about the welfare of their clients and helps them get connected to the services they need.

What a great organization! Every time I have come to volunteer, the staff and other volunteers have been upbeat, positive, warm and welcoming. They strive for excellence all around while continuing to maintain an objectively professional delivery. It's a fun volunteering experience for a wonderful cause!

I have been donating my time at Heroes Care for over four
years now and I love being a part of this great organization. It's such a wonderful feeling of giving back and helping the men and women of the service and their families. It's the very least I can do. The people of Heroes Care have made me feel like family. I plan on doing my part for years to come. Thanks for all you guys do to make these families feel loved while their loved ones are serving our country. Kudos to you all.

Loving the opportunity to be apart of giving back and working with others, as well as meet new people. The staff here is exceptionally nice and what they do is appreciated

I was hurt at my job and had to do light-duty work for Heroes Care. They were great to work for and always made sure i was in a safe to work environment. I highly recommend them for any volunteering needs. I love their mission and what they are all about

It has been a pleasure to volunteer here. They are always friendly and courteous. I like the mission and the people who support it.

Jon and Dave were HUGE help when we went to move our Army National Guard Recruiting Storefront to new location. We had mis-matched furniture and items that Soldiers had built themselves, but nice furniture is hard to come by. Our recruiters work day in and day out to find qualified applicants and help young men and women serve their country-and they needed an office to boost morale and professional space for their daily appointments with families. it was amazing to see an organization so willing to help us put together a professional appearance for their office. THANK YOU to HEROES Care for their generosity and help. We are so grateful that HEROES Care was willing and able to accommodate needs and find the resources to help out our local Soldiers and Vets. We now (thanks to THEM!) have new office furniture and storage that not only matches the professional atmosphere with the high caliber character of the Soldiers that serve and work in this office daily. Appreciate all that you do and your generosity! Organizations like you are a GEM!

They are an amazing organization for helping military families. They have helped out local units.

This charity is amazing when it comes to help and support our military families!!
Once per year here in Ohio this charity gives brand new suits to our present serving and post 911 veterans. Not just suits!! They also received shirts, ties and shoes. Ohio is a reservist State and these soldiers are looking for jobs. H. E. R. O. E. S Care wants to help these soldiers get the job that they are looking for. Appearance is everything when applying for a job. This charity does anything to help and support our warriors. During a deployment the loved one left behind can be paired with a battle buddy to share the good times and listen during the bad times as well. I am proud to be a Hometown Volunteer!

Just a little info.. HEROES Care helps soldiers and their families prior to deployment, during deployment, and most importantly after deployment. Many soldiers, especially those who have experienced combat, have a hard time adjusting when they come home. Some withdraw from society, some turn to drugs and alcohol, and sadly some take their own lives. HEROES Cares helps soldiers and their families, through a long list of resources. HEROES Care spends over 98% of it's expenses on the programs and services they provide. They spend less than 1% on administrative costs (salaries etc.). The presidents salary is only just over $46K. They have also received 4 stars 2 years in a row from Charity Navigator.

I have the pleasure of supporting this great organization as well as having my family be recipients of their generosity!

We had excellent training at Harbor UMC for H.E.R.O.E.S. Care. This ministry is doing wonderful things for service members and families who are too often left to deal with their struggles on their own, or insufficiently at best. The training was a real eye opener for me and gave me a totally new appreciation for service members and their families. I highly recommend this organization.

Each year my St. Louis Rockets Youth Hockey Team participates in a community project with the cooperation with HEROES Care. Our kids raise money, collect items and then get the chance to send Care Packages to our Military members deployed overseas. This year we send 50 Care packages. It is a great learning experience for my 8 and 9 year olds. This year we even had players from our follow hockey club, the Twin Bridges Lighting help raise money and collect item at their local rink in East Alton, Illinois. The best part about that is the rink manager of the East Alton Ice Rick is an old Navy crew chief that was stationed on the USS Nimitz during his time in the Navy many years ago. HEROES Care helped make sure we were able to send some of our 50 Care Packages to the Nimitz in honor of Larry Thatcher in East Alton.

And what really gets the kids excited is when we get emails , videos, and letters from the soldiers and sailors that received our packages. It is very touching to receive a Certificate of Appreciation with a Flag from a branch of our Military.

We are just a very tiny part of what HEROES Cares does for our our military community and families nationwide. I am very proud to be affiliated with them and look forward to our 2020 project.

God Bless America,

H.E.R.O.E.S. Care is awesome just contact them for all your needs

I am a single Soldier with seven children, and recently was donated new furniture that my family was in dire need for. H.E.R.O.E.S Care made it real easy to pick up, and also gave me more resources for future help.

Heroes care does so much for the men and women and their families in the service. Thank you for all you do!

Each event they have hosted is very well planed and executed. Each time they have an event they learn and improve. Thank you H.E.R.O.E.S. care!

Thank You for your support for the Baby Shower we had on May 7th for 15 veterans and their families at the Illiana VA in Danville, Illinois. Each family took home a large cart overflowing with items. Some of the veterans mentioned that without this event they would not have had what they needed to care for their 'new arrival'. Thank You again for your support.

It was such a privilege to assist HEROES Care in their mission to make life better for our country's veterans, active military and first responders. They have a great network of vendors who donate various needed items such as diapers, shoes, clothing, toys, furniture, etc. and they make a difference in the lives of our military every single day.

Heroes Care never fails at exceeding expectations. This organization has permitted me and my family to do what we love. That is, give back to the community through service. As a volunteer we have sent water to Michigan, fed the hungry, provided clothing to those less fortunate and more. I could go on but I don't think I have to. The men and women are outstanding and a blessing. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Very respectfully
Evenson Turner

I was deployed to a rather isolated area with minimal support agencies and morale opportunities. I reached out to H.E.R.O.E.S. Care and received about 25 boxes of Girl Scout cookies within 2 weeks. Words can not describe excitement this shipment of cookies brought to my 175 Airmen! A big thanks to H.E.R.O.E.S. Care for bringing some smiles to an otherwise dreary deployed location!

Excellent helpers for vets! When my husband and I moved to St. Louis area, they help us with food when we finally found a roof over our heads in a place to stay in Fairview Height.

I would like to publicly thank an organization called Heroes Care. Last year I was having great difficulty a few months before my retirement was available to me.

Heroes Care came along and helped in several ways. I was not exactly homeless but close to it. For those last couple of months they assisted with utilities and rent until retirement kicked in.

A lot of my situation was because my old car had bitten the dust. So many times having a reliable vehicle is key to doing things. Unbeknownst to me at the time, Heroes Care was working behind the scenes to help with that. Last Veteran’s Day I was asked to attend a meeting that turned out to be a little overwhelming. Heroes Care worked with another organization to get me a car! Now I’m getting around to meetings and interviews as well as volunteering as much as possible at the Heroes Care offices.

Thanks so much to them!

There are barely words to describe how amazing H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc is. From their mission, to their connections in the community and more importantly, surgically placing services and goods donated by amazing companies and individuals with military members and their families when they need them the most is simply unbelievable. Their mission is pure and they execute it - every single day. Serving the military community is not an after thought on an inconvenience - it is in their lifeblood. Their passion has resulted in thousands of military members and their families being taken care of in ways that mean everything to them. When they may not have the resources handy, they know who does. They connect need and military members like no other. I've been in the military for 37 years and have NEVER seen this level of support and gratitude from a support organization. This is the real deal and I'm so blessed to experience the organization, its founders and their mission. Thank you - HEROES Care - isn't enough. You create connections - and there isn't a moment in your presence, or interactions with you, where we lack for care and concern.

My name is Karen and recently my life turned upside down from a progressive diagnosis with my cervical spine. I am a veteran and worked with the Heroes' Care organization in my career. I guess this time it was my turn. I was in excruciating pain when I went in to meet Rob Sheahan and the crew at the Fenton, MO location. Rob to this day continues to be a veteran advocate for me especially with dealing with the John Cochran and Jefferson Barracks divisions of the VA system. Since November, they have not provided adequate care for my condition which has led to where I am today; disabled, living with a friend and my life in storage. When I first went to see Rob, the AC in my car was out and it was literally 100+ degrees in sweltering heat. I had no money, no food, nothing. I had been out of work for weeks and going downhill fast. They helped me repair my car, they gave me a credit card for gas so I could make my doctors appointments and they provided me food. I was so down and depressed, Rob as well as the rest of the team, lifted my spirits giving me the will to carry on. Along with the initial meeting, I also asked Rob to escort me on my VA visits as being in pain, you need an advocacy agent with you to protect you. I know that is hard to believe but its the truth. The VA does not want me in their pain management program and they are inconsistent with treatment which is the worst action to take against me. He gave me the name of people to call & one of them from Ann Wagner's office was the one who finally stepped in and the VA responded. Unfortunately, it was short lived but I was grateful to have a month of managing my pain. Now, Rob is helping me fight the battle to be Fee Based out for my pain management because they once again negated to treat me & I had to move in with a friend who is 50 miles from the nearest VA pain clinic. Too be honest with you, I would be happy to NEVER go back to the VA ever again in my life. Rob is seeing first hand the treatment veterans are given and he has been a wonderful advocate for me; often lifting my spirits and bringing sense to what is happening to me. I want you to know how much this organization means to me. Without them, I seriously doubt I would be sitting here typing this message to you. They understand the barriers veterans face and their assistance is remarkable! Thank you Heroes' Care from the bottom of my heart. When I stabilize and get well, my intent is to volunteer & hopefully help Rob advocate for our veterans.

I loved working with everyone and appreciated their commitment and help while I was Family Readiness Group leader. They were always helpful with family events for the unit as well as individual help for the soldiers and families. Great group of people.

I work for a company that donates gently used toys and other children's items to H.E.R.O.E.S. CARE, Inc. It is inspiring to know the drivers who come all the way to the warehouse in Ohio, to pick up the toys, and then, drive them all the way to Missouri. These drivers volunteer for this with no compensation except to help people in need.

This place has helped me and my family with so much.

The Vietnam Veterans of America - Chapter 794 of Florissant, MO has made Donations the
Last 4 years to HEROES Care. We have seen up close and very Personal the Great Work done by this Military & VET Support Group. With a Very Small Staff and a Group of Volunteers the
Fine Folks at HEROES CARE are the Real Heroes for Military families. We ask all the VET Groups in MO, IL and Around the country to ADOPT them and Help their GREAT Cause.

In nineteen days, it will be two years that I first went into this organization when it was in West Lark Industrial Park. The Vietnam Veteran I was taking care of passed away and I was very distraught. I now had no job/income, no vehicle and wasn't sure if I had a roof over my head. They gave me no financial help to get a vehicle or a home but I read about all this aide they are giving people. They told me they don't help financially and gave a list of charities, churches, etc. They also gave me a HUGE box of food and some hygiene products but the box was huge and bulky it took another female and I 45 minutes to an hour to get it up in the back of her van. Two of the people that work/volunteer there came out twice and neither one offered to help. Three weeks ago I lost EVERYTHING due to a fire. I guess I'm going to have to bring a couple of guys with me this time so they can lift that box up in less than 45 minutes.

The work that this program does to help Veterans and their families is outstanding. Their staff and volunteers go above and beyond to help those in need.

Great nonprofit organization. Numerous times have received free cardinals and blues baseball and homcey tickets that I shared with my family.

As a veteran this is a great service and gives us the opportunity to do something fun with no cost to us!

If it wasn't for them I would not of had the Christmas present to give my grandchildren last year. They're all the best people I have ever meet. Thank you so much for everything you do for my family. God Bless You All. Kim Cooper.

I was connected with HEROES Care my the US Navy Reserve Center St. Louis. I was told that they assisted families around Christmas with some extra toys that they have. What a surprise when I arrived. I was greeted by some of the most caring and friendly people I'd ever meet. My family and I ended up staying to assist with the sorting of all surplus of donations received. This was POST Christmas and after about 2 hours we sorted through several truck loads (53' Trailers) of brand new donated toys, games, and other children play things. I have volunteered with them 3 more times since then. Personally assisted a family in need with a new born to have enough diapers not only to get by but to last so the family didn't have to stress that purchase for a while. HEROES Care does more work than I have ever assisted with. Their staff is friendly, caring, loving, and come from a place of generosity. I cannot wait to visit again and assist helping more of our country's HEROES. An organization that believes in Honoring those who have given to our country. There isn't enough groups in the US that care for our Military and families.

H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc never disappoints us. At SLU we've partnered with them to send and pack hundreds of packages for soldiers. Each time, they help us with what we didn't collect, provide the packing facility, and make arrangements to ship. I met a soldier on the plane and we were talking about H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, he said he got a care package while deployed and it meant so much. He said it was a wonderful feeling. H.E.R.O.E.S. Care is all about the soldiers and veterans as well as their family. Both Jon and Dave serve those who serve our country. Can't ask for a better organization and if you have time, donate time; if you have money; donate money to help.

They provide diapers and Christmas toys for the military families that use our food pantry! Much needed support!

H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc. takes care of military members (current and former). They are self supported by donations in which they give back to the military 100% and more. They are always helping out when it comes to furniture, supplies, and event tickets for the local military community. They do ask anything in return, which makes one want to help them and their cause. We thank all of the members of HEROES Care for all that they do.

HEROES Care is an amazing organization, from the lady in the warehouse to the guy in charge of the whole team. I highly recommend them as a place to do business with. They're growing at crazy speeds and their only goal is to help Veterans and their Families! I have no doubt that everyone of them would give the shirt off their backs if someone needed it. Keep up the great work! I'm proud to have been able to meet them all and even more proud to Know that such an incredible mission exists in today's society! Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for what you do every day!

Great organization, they have helped my military unit many times. They have been there to support our family day functions, holiday gatherings and more!

I have volunteered with this organization in the past and have involved my Army Reserve unit to assist as well. Great people and organization that's truly focused on the veteran and their families.

I am a heroes service volunteer and I think this program is fantastic. I only wish more men and woman of the military would join this program and have a caregiver walk with you or your spouse through this time in your life.

It is my privilege to volunteer with the Hometown Support Program here in CT. We received exceptional training for the work we do, and the support staff in St. Louis is constantly available to us for for advice/encouragement. H.E.R.O.E.S. Care is an organization run by the highest quality people with sky-high standards. It is the avenue by which I can finally do my part to serve those who so selflessly serve our nation---what an honor!

From my experience no soldier shall be in need with this organization in operation as they strive to fulfill any need and seem to always come through.

We learned about how once a month they have a free furniture giveaway day where families can come and pick from couches, chairs, and several other types of items that were donated. It is a first come first serve basis and the volunteers are really nice and helpful. Most of the items were rejected by the main furniture company and were given to heroes care. Each piece may have a small blemish from being a floor model or a scratch from shipping. These items are still in almost perfect condition. For families that need help being able to come and get a really nice piece of furniture for no cost can really make a difference. The organization also has a toy day and several other giveaway days throughout the month.

They went out of their way in a downpour to deliver free Blues tickets to me at a bus stop 'cause I didn't have a car to come to them. Also they steered me to the right person in Jefferson City to help a fellow veteran who needed help.

This organization stands for everything I believe in - supporting military families in the communities where they live. I have been and will continue to support this organization any way I can.

I went to the furniture distribution day. I got a chair and a dresser. I did not expect to get anything else but the guy in charge said they had more donated items to give away. I ended up leaving with a box of snacks, a dress and blouse for my wife and a suit for myself. Top notch charity that delivered more then I expected.

I am very grateful for all that H.E.R.O.E.S. Care does for the military families. The staff is very friendly and supportive. My story is simple.

In the fall of 2008, when the economy started tanking, I lost my job, my home, and my good credit. As luck would have it, I lost my job just weeks after buying our first home in Los Angeles, CA. I would lose the home in foreclosure, my credit cards would all go into default because I was trying to save the house, and in turn, my strong credit would be destroyed.

In the years that followed, every additional penny earned has been spent on recovering from the negative impact a foreclosure and defaulted credit lines had on me. I joined the Reserves a few years ago and one of the immediate benefits I received was the ability to utilize the food pantry. It may sound cliche, but truly "every little bit helps" when trying to recover from financial demise. Because our focus over the last 7 years has been to get out of debt and repair negative credit lines, we don't go out very much. However, thanks to HEROES Care, we've been able to attend a few ball games and hockey games, which my boys enjoy very much. Additionally, they've supported my unit's Holiday/Christmas event each year and also provide school supplies as well.

It's those little things that add up over time. I am very grateful to the men and women who volunteer at HEROES Care and to all the very generous donors who make it possible. I am looking forward to the day when I will be in a better financial position so that I can become a frequent donor to HEROES Care.

Thank you to all of you at H.E.R.O.E.S. Care!

-Luis

I have had the privilege to not just volunteer, but to see first hand the great work HEROES CARE does. The organization is top notch and the people are wonderful. As a veteran I am eternally grateful that they exist.

H.E.R.O.E.S program is a very good nonprofit program for thwveterans and their families. Being able to get some furniture has been very covenient and helpful for those of u who need that extra help. They have helped my fellow Soldiers who have lost all their belongings in a fire.
Thwy provide cheiatmas toys for our Soldiers kids and even real Christmas trees. Me personally havw not had a real tree in a very long time.
Thank you foe supporting our troops both here and abroad

They were very helpful and informative. They perform multiple functions out of one small warehouse.

They truly care about our armed forces. They have great programs and serve were they are able to do so.

When I first moved to St Louis I only knew a few people. One of the guys that I served with pointed me to HEROES care. The folks there are extremely helpful and were always there when I needed them.

They have an excellent mentoring program for Veteran Caregivers that is shared with the Stevens Ministry and Local Churches. A grat idea and program.

Heroes Care has been a huge blessing for my family in many ways... from diapers to providing us with opportunities to do family activities that we otherwise would never be able to experience! Thank you Heroes Care!

Amazing organization. So great to know there are people out there that truly care about our veterans, active duty and their families.

Excellent people providing excellent support to Veterans.

H.E.R.O.E.S Care is amazing! They are always helping soldiers and their families in need. H.E.R.O.E.S care made it possible for my children to have a good Christmas last year.

They provided many items to military families! :) It is an extreme blessing to know a charity like this exist for those military personnel who are serve on active duty with national guard or reserve. They offer local sporting game tickets as well as furniture which makes it easy for these families to go to events they normally cannot afford.

I've seen the great work this organization has done. They support military and their families in a tremendous way.

They help all military in help. They are here for us and help us in need.

Wonderful originzation that helps lots of military families.

What a wonderful organization!! They encompass the whole person and their needs, not just one aspect. They have the most wonderful staff who are genuinely passionate about what they do and it shows!!! I have several veterans who have been assisted by H.E.R.O.E.S Care and they say the same thing!! Thank you for caring so much about our military/veterans!! You guys just ROCK!!!!!

I have been a Ministry Leader for two churches and volunteer staff for Military Outreach USA, which Ministers to Churches across the United States. Our Ministry is to assist Active Duty, Veterans, and their families. We have proudly worked with and supported the work and the hard work and dedication of H.E.R.O.E.S. Care Inc. and urge anyone with a real passion to come beside our brave men and women, both young and old to either assist physically or financially as God would lead your heart to do. As a U.S.A.F. Veteran myself, I know the anxieties and complexity of issues our Veterans are going through on a daily basis. I see the numbers (22 a day) of those who give up and commit suicide because organizations like ours have not been able to reach them. Please, we can't do it alone.

Heroes care is a wonderful organization that has people there with a heart of gold. When my husband and i were homeless they assisted us with whatever we needed to help better our situation. And when we did find a home they helped us furnish our home and teamed up with Progressive insurance, and they donated us 2 cars! I have been smiling ever since! God bless you Heroes Care!

HEROE's care is an amazing organization! My
Spouses group visits regularly to pick up things
that out military families need here at Scott.
I am very pleased with how kind and professional
everyone is. They truly make a difference in
Military members lives and in the community!

Jon and his crew are wonderful! My husband and I recently bought a new home, and without them, we would not have been able to furnish the house. We got 2 new dressers, a headboard, a solid wood entertainment center, a sleeper sofa, 2 lamps, a coffee table, and 2 end tables from them.
I also have worked as an Ombudsman and have seen and experienced the love and care that they have towards our sevicemen and servicewomen. They always have time to make sure that we all have whatever they can provide and an ear to listen. This great group of people love and care for all military families, and we love and care for them just as much!

I have personally seen how their work has bettered the lives of active duty and veterans. Our community is a better place because of them.

I am a military member who has worked as a First Sgt and a Family Readiness Assistant. I was just recently made aware of H.E.R.O.E.S Care and the organization is truly amazing. The help and support provided to the military families is just phenomenal. We have received many donations for our military members and I've had a chance to volunteer with them several times. I will continue to support H.E.R.O.E.S Care and I'm proud to be associated with them.

I am the Family Readiness leader for the National Guard in Cape Girardeau, Mo. HEROES Care helps our soldiers with everything from diapers and clothes to furniture and food. Their reach doesn't stop at their front door, because of the relationships HEROES Care builds, they can call on volunteers all over. I was contacted to help out with a Navy Vietnam vet in our area who has fallen on hard times. I was able to deliver 3 boxes of food, free from HEROES Care, to help get them by until paperwork for the more permanent solution can be processed. This Veteran was so appreciative and glad to know someone cares.

I have been able to work with HEROES Care on several different occasions and they have met the needs of what my families had. Thank you HEROES Care!

I have been using and supporting HEROES care since 2010. There have been plenty of times where I have used heroes care for furniture, appliance, school supplies, clothing, and my army office supported them during a can food drives at blues games. President Jon Jerome even volunteered his time to my previous Army reserve unit as a guest speaker for our annual valentines day ball. Being part of HEROES care has definitely made me a better person and allowed me to help other soldiers in need of this great military benefit. Thank you HEROES Care!

As the Family Readiness Officer for the local Marine Reserve unit in St. Louis, I have worked with the incredible folks from H.E.R.O.E.S. Care for several years. The have assisted my Marines and Sailors with everything from diapers to furniture. This past year, one of my sections had to stay at the Reserve Center during their two-weeks of active duty and needed a refrigerator to store personal food items. Jon was able to locate a donor within a couple of weeks. I can't tell you what a morale booster it was for the Marines to be able to have a cold soda or sandwich after working hours (eating MREs every day for two weeks gets old fast). The team of professionals at the Fenton location is always available to assist or answer a question and go out of their way for our military families.

I've been in the military for almost 10 years and when I met my husband he was getting ready to be stationed at ft. bragg. I ended up moving up there to be with him and we had absolutely NO furniture and NO money! It was a stressful time for us. H.E.R.O.E.S. Care made a world of difference. They helped us when we were in a overwhelming position. We could not be more happy and more grateful and know that if we are in need again, they will be there for us.

In my line of work, I try to find resources for returning OEF/OIF veterans. I deal with many organizations. H.E.R.O.E.S Care is one of the few that stands 100% behind what they do. They are the first organization I recommend to my returning warfighters who need assistance. H.E.R.O.E.S Care goes above and beyond to help. They have also been an outstanding benefactor to my former Army Reserve unit, providing numerous items for the family support group.

I am an Ombudsman for the Navy Reserves, and Heroes Care Does so much for so many of our Sailors and their families their is just no words to describe. So from Our Family to Them Thank You From The Bottom Of Our Hearts. You have come through time and time again. A Quick Note if you are down and out and Don't think you have anywhere else you can turn Please call Heroes Care someone can help or Point you in the Right Direction. They really Know their Stuff.

As the wife of a disabled veteran we went through a very difficult time. While my husband was waiting for his disability claim to go through our family of 5 was on the verge of homelessness. After calling countless charity organizations and receiving little to no help, I had lost hope. After one conversation with H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, I felt hope for the first time! They instantly send someone to my home with donations of food, diapers, and clothes and then the help continued to pour in from there. All in all they saved us from homelessness, bought my children Christmas gifts, provided us with necessities and most of all showed us that they DID care and gave us hope when we were alone and scared! I will forever be grateful to H.E.R.O.E.S. care for helping my family in our desperate time of need.

H.E.R.O.E.S. Care has been a great partner to Fort Leonard Wood Army Community Service! Consistent and reliable responses to a variety of needs make this one of the most relevant service organizations with which I have had the pleasure to work!

The work that H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc provides give me peace of mind that those who serve will be taken care of and provided for. There is no great work to do than to take care of our military so they can take care of us. They make a HUGE impact on the lives of so many.

H.E.R.O.E.S. care is a great organization. They have helped our unit with so much always at during the holiday and back to school, baby items and diapers. The people that work there are very friendly and caring

H.E.R.O.E.S Care is an amazing organization. Their support for our military families is unmatched by any other organization. I can always reach someone by phone when needed, It really is nice to actually speak to someone. The items they donate to our military families is simply amazing. They truly love our military families. If they can do it or provide it they will. They are always seeking other ways to support. They always try to be one step ahead of the needs of our families.

I have been help many of times through H.E.R.O.E.S and my unit that I am in and also units that I work for through the RPAC. Not only do we have a food pantry at the Jefferson Barracks, Missouri location that help out Soldier and their family in need of help with food and other items; Soldiers also receive tickets to various sports, shows, etc events that tickets are donate to H.E.R.O.E.S care. H.E.R.O.E.S. almost monthly gives away Rothman furniture that is donated to them to the troops. They have also sent care packets overseas to our units Soldier that are deployed; which the Soldier enjoys enormously.

Hero Care has a dedicated staff that has help members of my unit. The school supplies are always appricated by member of my units family.

As one of the core leadership of Willow Creek Community Church Military Care Ministry in South Barrington, Il, it has been my pleasure to work with this group and their team on a number of occasions. They are highly organized, professional and provide a great service to our Military Veterans who have served post 9/11 and those Members and their families who are deployed today or recently been deployed. I highly recommend them if you wish to support our Troops.

Great organization, awesome staff, and a wonderful way to assist American warriors in need!

H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc. is amazing! I recently went there to pick up some donations for our squadron and they were so gracious! They loaded up our cars full or products to give out to military families on our base. They also let my children, who i had brought with me, pick out anything they wanted. They are so giving and care so much about serving military families. Such a generous organization!! Thank you H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc.!

HEROES Care is a great supporter of the Scott AFB military community. From free tickets to St Louis events to helping families in need, (ie furniture distro) HEROES is always meeting the needs or boosting morale in our community.

I recently went through a divorce…the very ugly kind. He left while I was deployed and took everything. Due to the organization, I was able to receive a few furniture pieces. They assisted me in my time of need and I really appreciate it. The staff was wonderful. One of members was headed back to my area and delivered the couch to my home! Thank goodness for organizations like this. I hope to be able to pay this forward. If you are in need please see them. If have time please volunteer or donate if you can.

My husband and I are volunteers for this wonderful organizations. The things they do and provide for military families goes above and beyond. They have monthly furniture give a ways for soldiers and their families in need. Recently they with the help of volunteers were given some very nice furniture from a big hotel and gave this a way. They obtain items such as diapers, wipes, children clothes and adult clothes which they provide to military families. They provide items for children for Christmas Parties. They have a great group of volunteers who make parachute cord bracelets to raise funds to help those in need. They receive many free tickets for local attractions which are give to families to enable them to have a night of fun as a family. My husband and I witnessed what they did for a family that lost everything in a fire while he was deployed. They were a blessing beyond measure. I could go on and on about this wonderful organization. I feel honored to be able to volunteer with them.

There are no words for this wonderful organization, I've volunteered a few times but have also had help from H.E.R.O.E.S care (very recently) the staff are polite and simply wonderful if you need it and they have it they will give it to you. They work hard and are there anytime you need them.

As a member of the Armed Forces I am especially appreciative of the compassion Operation Homefront - Fenton has for Soldiers and Families stationed at Fort Leonard Wood. Their generosity not only exceeded expectations, but served as a morale boost for the Families of deployed Soldiers, the deployed Soldiers themselves, and other Soldiers getting ready to deploy. Operation Homefront is a class act! Thanks for your continued support! Dennis Zink, Lieutenant Colonel, US Army

Missouri has one of the BEST Op. Homefronts I have ever seen. They helped our families with a holiday party. It was absolutely amazing, the kids each received gifts and they were so nice. They helped make the event wonderful for the children, youth, teens & adults. Everyone there was so grateful and spoke of how wonderful it was. Thank you Jon & all of your Operation Homefront folks. You all ROCK!!!
