Founded in 2004 as a non-profit, non-partisan 501(c) (3) organization, the Coalition is among the nation’s leading charities whose donors provide the wounded veterans and families…
Since 2004, the Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes has provided disabled American veterans from Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, and New Dawn with millions of dollars worth of Emergency Financial Aid and support services.
The Coalition receives daily calls and applications from disabled servicemen and women facing financial crises. After a severe injury, wounded veterans are not only having to rebuild a new way of life in so many unexpected ways, but their families are experiencing real hardships while waiting for their benefits.
The Coalition has developed numerous programs to assist disabled veterans and their spouse/caregiver recover, rebuild and reconnect with others facing the same challenges. The Veteran Circle Membership (VC) is one way we have been able to help with peer support.
Operation Hope for Vets 2018 – Washington D.C. The Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes will be distributing non- perishable foods, toiletries, and household products to pre-qualified veterans and military families in the DC Metro area. Together with support from the DC VA HUD-VASH program we will be distributing food to sustain roughly 400 families of four for one week. The value of the food and other products distributed is approximately $275 per family. This event, scheduled for 10 am-1pm on Saturday, June 16 will be held at the DC VA Medical Center. The Coalition is teaming up with Feed the Children and Amazon Fresh to celebrate and thank local veterans and military families for their service and sacrifice. If you’re interested in partnering or volunteering with us and supporting our veterans in this wonderful life-sustaining event, please contact Sara Brush-Miller at sbrush@saluteheroes.org
