Mission
HomeFront Strong is a military & veterans family support organization that focuses on enhancing resilience among all military service members, veterans and family, regardless of service or discharge status. HomeFront Strong looks to serve Guard and Reserve families in New England as its primary focus. All programs offered by HomeFront Strong are rooted in an evidence based family resilience model and community trauma healing.
Program accomplishments
- Our main programs HFS Storytelling & HFS Connects are designed to create meaningful opportunities for community building among service members, veterans & their families. Through both programs we recruit and train military connected volunteers to provide a variety of peer support, including social/emotional and goal oriented support, and/or engage participants in the storytelling process. Through HFS Storytelling we hope to capture the diversity of military service in New England, bridging the gaps between the military, veteran & civilian communities.Our Shaped by Service Art Show brought together military connected artists from Massachusetts & Connecticut to display & celebrate their sculptures, painting, woodworks, ceramics and other pieces of art. We have partnered with Warrior's Art Room to now have this show & gallery throughout November & December.Expenses $10,736
