About us
Our mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they may thrive --not simply struggle to get by -- in the communities they have worked so hard to protect. Through a robust array of valued and life-changing programs that address the specific short-term, critical assistance, long-term stability, and recurring family support needs they experience, Operation Homefront can help military families overcome short-term difficulties so they don’t become long-term hardships. Since its inception, we have provided more than $38 million in assistance for military families through our Critical Financial Assistance program. Our housing programs have served hundreds of service members and their families during the critical transition period to civilian life, providing millions in housing support. Our recurring family support programs serve thousands of family members annually, helping at critical times for families, such as back to school, the holidays, or welcoming a new member to their family. 85% of our expenses go directly to our programs and services, and we have earned high marks from both charity and consumer rating services. • 4-Star Rating from Charity Navigator • “A” rating from CharityWatch • Meets all 20 Accountability Standards of the Better Business Bureau • Named by Consumer Reports as a Highly Rated charity for 2019 We won’t stop there: Our vision is to be the provider of choice for short-term financial relief and recurring family support programs to ensure the long-term empowerment, self-sufficiency, and resiliency of our military families. The results? Stronger, more stable, and more secure military families. Learn more about Operation Homefront at www.operationhomefront.org

Inflation is hitting everyone hard, but for military families, the struggle is even more intense. With a very high percentage living paycheck to paycheck, many have to stretch every penny they have to make ends meet. Thank you, Military Times, for sharing how inflation is impacting those who serve our nation and how Operation Homefront is here to help: https://lnkd.in/e6GMQGqK

When Craig Payne, a retired Army staff sergeant faced basement flooding due to a failed drainage system, he wasn't sure where to turn. With repair costs soaring into the thousands, it felt like an impossible challenge. Thanks to Operation Homefront's Critical Financial Assistance program, Craig and his family were able to repair their home's drainage system, putting an end to the flooding and the stress that came with it. This $7,000 repair means more than just a dry basement; it’s the security that we strive to bring to military families like the Payne's, so that they can thrive, not just struggle to get by. Since 2011, Operation Homefront has provided over $41 million in critical financial assistance to help military families. We’re proud to stand by our heroes when they need us most.

Back-to-school season is challenging, especially for military families, who often face additional financial strain. According to the Deloitte 2024 Back-to-School survey, parents are expected to spend around $586 per child on back-to-school shopping. The added costs of frequent moves and deployment stress can make this season even more difficult for military families. That’s why we were proud to support 160 military families in Springfield, VA, by providing much-needed school supplies. Operation Homefront's Back-to-School Brigade program readies thousands of military children for a new school year! We’re grateful to the partners, volunteers and employees who contributed to making a difference in these families’ lives! #MilitaryFamilies #CommunityImpact

We're thrilled to share that U.S. Bank, in partnership with Operation Homefront, has donated a 2024 Ford Explorer to Navy veteran and single father of five, Paul Vincent Cuyugan! 🚙 🤗 Paul Vincent, who served as a hospital corpsman for 10 years, faced significant challenges after his military service, including supporting his children and disabled mother without a vehicle. With this donation, Paul Vincent can travel worry-free, ensuring his family's well-being and opening doors to better opportunities. We're grateful to our partners for supporting our military heroes and their families through initiatives like this. Thank you, US Bank, for all you do! #PartnershipThatMatters #Navy #MilitaryFamilies
