Operation Homefront: Helping Military Families



Operation Homefront (OH) was founded in 2002 as a support system for families of deployed service members after 9/11. This 501 (c)(3) nonprofit is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, with 25 chapters serving 30 states and the main office taking care of everyone else. The lowest-paid service members (E-1 through E-6 enlisted ranks) constitute the majority of those receiving assistance.

The goal of Operation Homefront  is to offer emergency financial and other types of assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors.  Evictions, child care, food insecurity, and auto repair are just some of the areas where OH can step up to help.  Recently, laptops were donated to troops deploying overseas.

A network of generous donors makes Operation Homefront's efforts successful.
