Jacksonville – Helping Hands for Heroes is an organization founded and managed by fellow veterans who deeply understand the challenges faced by others throughout the country.
Many find the transition to civilian life as equally difficult, if not more so, as their time in service. Like many other social issues, some of those who have been acutely affected have traditionally been those within underserved communities.
That is why they are here to provide a helping hand.
Every success story fuels their commitment. From a veteran finding secure housing to another landing a dream job, we celebrate real-life transformations every day. Their data-driven approach means every donation and every volunteer hour makes a measurable difference in the lives of those who sacrificed so much to defend our freedoms.
