Operation Homefront's greatest challenge is keeping up with the demands of the needs of the soldiers we service. We strive to reach our community to give them opportunities to give to our families. We continually request grants and work without hesitation to raise funds through different venues. Our goal is to always return as much of every single dollar we receive back to our mission.
