Our Story
Operation Homefront Heroes was founded in September 2025 by a group of community members who share a deep respect for the men and women who served on the frontlines in defense of our nation.
This organization began as a grassroots effort to turn heartfelt gratitude into tangible support. After witnessing the everyday sacrifices made by those in uniform, often with limited recognition or resources—our board of directors came together with one goal: to ensure that appreciation for our veterans becomes action.
From care package drives and holiday outreach to fundraising efforts and direct community engagement, Operation Homefront Heroes exists to bridge the gap between heartfelt thanks and real-world help. Every initiative is designed to uplift, honor, and assist those who have put it all on the line to defend our American way of life.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to honor and support veterans in Portage County through meaningful fundraising, resource drives, and community engagement, fostering appreciation, aid, and action.
