Organizations Filed Purposes:
The Home Front Cares serves the entire state of Colorado providing emergency and responsive support for Colorado service members, veterans and military families who have been impacted by deployment in harms way.
General Fund/Grants to Families - Provides one-time grants to families in need due to unforeseen circumstances aggravated by deployment of a parent/spouse or separation from the service. Childcare, transportation, household repairs, and other "survival" expenses are among items covered. This aid provides a critical bridge to struggling military families, as the average veteran must wait months for VA medical and financial benefits to process and begin.
Energy Assistance Fund - Pays utility bills for military families through grants from Energy Outreach Colorado, augmented by our general fund.
Welcome Home Heroes Fund - Volunteers from the Organization meet every plane that arrives in Colorado Springs carrying soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Volunteers hand every returning service member a cheeseburger and soda, greet them and thank them for their service. This program also supports family members to visit wounded loved ones out of state in military hospitals and to attend memorial services, welcoming ceremonies for soldiers and families, unit activities, and other functions that are not readily covered by existing military or nonprofit infrastructure.
