It's almost August, and you know what that means. Back to school! The Back-to-School Brigade® is an annual nationwide campaign by Operation Homefront that collects and distributes school supplies to eligible dependents of service members. Through this assistance program, military children receive free back-to-school supplies, including backpacks, to help them start the new school year on the right foot.

About us
The Fisher House program provides “a home away from home” for service members, veterans, and their families who are receiving medical treatment at a military or VA hospital. These special houses provide free temporary lodging, private suites, and are walking distance to the medical centers. The homes not only create an instant community for its residents, but also provide each family with a secure and private refuge after a long day to rest and recharge.

#MissionMonday We know life does not stop when a loved one is injured. Wounds from combat are both visible and invisible, whether they are burns and amputations or post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. These medical challenges require the ongoing presence of loved ones, and Fisher House Foundation is here to help. Military and veteran families can be together, at no cost, at 97 Fisher House across the country and overseas. #FisherHouse #ServiceMembers #veterans #mission
