A home away from home for veterans, active military, and their families.

Why Are We Doing This?

We are passionate about, and committed to supporting our nation’s promise and obligation to support those who have sacrificed for our country’s freedom and our security.

We believe we owe more to our veterans, our active military, and to their families, who can’t afford the cost of lodging to be near their loved ones during their times of need – which can be for days, weeks, even months.

Thanks to the Larry and Helen Hoag Foundation, Every gift through December 31, 2025, will be matched—up to $30,000.

When service members face illness or injury, they shouldn’t have to worry: “Who’s taking care of my family?”
