Our Impact

Returning Heroes Home provided more than just one building, one garden, one park. Along with the U.S. military, we are helping to support hundreds of lives. RHH is about serving the wounded, ill, and injured Warriors. It is about their spouses, their children, their parents, and friends. It’s about life altering situations – from taking tiny steps toward recovery to being able to navigate around Freedom Park with surety and confidence. It’s about moving from sadness and worry to finding and regaining hope. When you contribute to Returning Heroes Home you are providing the resources that encourage hope and recovery.

We’ve heard from moms who come to the facility to visit sons and daughters, who use the kitchens to make their favorite meals and keep their spirits up. Your funds ensure that we can keep the kitchen stalked so a recovering Warrior can enjoy Mom’s one-of-a-kind homemade oatmeal cookies, and can remember and savor the taste of home.

We see our Warriors gathering together in the media room, playing video games, keeping their spirits up and re-establishing camaraderie with those around them. Your gifts allow us to make sure these systems stay up-to-date and that we have the facilities queued up and ready for their access if they need to ward off sadness, loneliness or anxiety.

We see Heroes determined not to let tragic incidences of their past determine the success they can achieve in their future. The WFSC’s Education Room gives them access to training tools and technology to help ensure they succeed.

We see the impact on the men and women who visit the WFSC daily and we know we have a direct impact on their ability to connect, refresh, and rehabilitate. RHH and the U.S. Military provides and enriches the lives for those who have endured the tragedies of war, through an environment designed to promote healing, reduce stress and anxiety, and give our Heroes as much comfort as their own cozy homes.

While hostilities may have subsided, our Soldiers still endure severe injuries while on active duty, while training in real life combat activities, and are vulnerable to illnesses. That means the need for supportive programs and medical treatment for wounded, ill and injured Warriors still exists.
