Our Mission

To honor our veterans by providing a place where they and their families can heal, reconnect, and find strength together in the great American outdoors—because no one who served, or their loved ones, should ever feel alone in their battle for peace.

“Serving Those Who Served”

Call to Action

Secure the Lodge. Sustain the Mission.

The HERO Lodge is where veterans and their families come together to hunt, fish, share meals, build friendships, and find strength in the outdoors.

Help us eliminate the remaining $214,806 mortgage balance and redirect $18,675.60 each year toward more veteran opportunities, family events, and meaningful connection.

Veterans & Family Members

At HERO, we are dedicated to serving veterans and their loved ones by creating opportunities for connection, healing, and growth. Through retreats, guided and self-guided hunting experiences, resource fairs, and wellness summits, we provide safe and supportive spaces where veterans and their families can come together, build relationships, and find strength in community.

Whether you are looking for time in the outdoors, a chance to connect with others who understand your journey, or access to valuable resources, HERO is here for you.
