AMERICA HELPING HEROES #229

America Helping Heroes works neighborhood by neighborhood to prevent the unnecessary hardship of returning troops and their families.  

Many military members and their families have to deal with a host of challenges and must carry the burdens following war -- with little or no help. The goal of every community chapter of America Helping Heroesis to make sure that no combat veteran is neglected and left to deal with the process of reintegration -- alone.

Author/musician Angela Alegna founded America Helping Heroes with the philosophy that the communityis one of the most important aspects in a combat veterans' transition from life at war to life at home. With a little neighborhood involvement - most of the hardships facing our newest veterans and their families can be anticipated and obliterated. 

Anyone from 9 to 90 can participate.  Every volunteer decides what he or she can give with regard to services or time and they are never asked for more. You can give one hour of your time - or you can give many - the important thing is to do something by way of showing gratitude to our returning troops - our neighbors - who are the real heroes and heart of America. 

Every community chapter of America Helping Heroes consists of volunteers who participate in one or more of the following 4 programs:

Neighborhood Initiative

Student Involvement

Coming Home and Moving Forward 

Social Awareness and Event Coordinating 

Preventing the problems and hardships is what America Helping Heroes is all about.  By working together- neighborhood by neighborhood - street by street - we can make sure that our newest veterans are given the opportunity to successfully reintegrate and move forward in their lives.
