Every day, across America, the OH family consisting of dedicated employees, passionate volunteers and caring corporate and individual donors and partner organizations, provides valued programs designed to build strong, stable, and secure military families as we seek to honor their patriotism and service to our country. Our mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive — not simply struggle to get by — in the communities they have worked so hard to protect. Through widespread public support and a collaborative team of exceptional staff and volunteers, we aspire to become the provider of choice for military families needing short-term relief, long-term resiliency and recurring family support programs and services. Our core values serve as fundamental principles that govern our behavior and guide our decision making: 1) Do What’s Right, 2) Respect Others, 3) Perform With Excellence and 4) Gratitude. Operation Homefront helps military families through difficult periods by providing a variety of programs designed to ensure that short-term needs don’t turn into chronic long-term struggles. Our programs focus on relief through financial assistance and temporary housing programs, resiliency through permanent housing and caregiver support programs and recurring family support during important periods throughout the year. 92 percent of Operation Homefront’s expenditures go towards delivering our programs and services. Operation Homefront assists military families during difficult financial times by providing food assistance, auto and home repair, vision care, travel and transportation, moving assistance, essential home items, and rent-free transitional housing for wounded veterans and their families. Helping military families gain long-term stability is a specific concern for us. Our Homes on the Homefront awards mortgage-free homes, impacting veteran families for generations to come. The caregivers for wounded warriors also need help and that is why we formed Hearts of Valor. We support every military family member. We host a gala each year that recognizes extraordinary military kids and we host multiple Homefront Celebrations, Star-Spangled Baby Showers, Back-to-School Brigades and Holiday Meals for Military events each year to show our appreciation to military spouses. Thanks to the generosity of our corporate partners, foundations, individual donors, and the commitment of thousands of volunteers, Operation Homefront is able to help these military families become strong, stable, and secure so they can thrive in the communities they have worked so hard to protect.
