More than 52,000 military members were physically injured in recent military conflicts. 500,000 living with invisible wounds, from depression to post-traumatic stress disorder, and 320,000 experiencing debilitating brain trauma. The numbers speak for themselves because not every warrior can. With the support of our community of donors and team members, the Wounded Warrior Project gives a voice to those needs and empower our warriors to begin the journey to recovery.
As a group of Combat Veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Massachusetts Fallen Heroes are committed to memorializing fellow service members who did not return home to their families.

They have four main goals: (1) Honor the memories of fallen soldiers (2) Support our Gold Star Family members (3) Empower our Veterans and (4) Educate our communities.
In 2005, Eight Days of Hope (EDOH) started with a phone call from a father to a son after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The idea was for a few people to take a trip to the Gulf Coast to rebuild a home or two. What actually happened was a volunteer effort of 684 people loving and serving 84 families - something only God could do. It eventually became a movement through which He would touch thousands of people’s lives and impact communities forever.

Several years ago, advocates from the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless were offering homeless prevention resources for families at a public school when a teacher approached them. The teacher shared that many of her students were coming to school extremely tired because they did not have a bed. Knowing that many of the students’ parents simply could not afford to purchase one, she wondered if the Coalition could help get beds for some of her students. That one inquiry launched A Bed for Every Child and the rest is history.

During the Great Depression, Kip Tiernan’s grandmother opened her kitchen to feed people in need. At that time, people would mark an “X” on the sidewalk outside their homes to signify a safe place to get help. Kip saw firsthand how simple acts of kindness could help people through dark times. Today, GBFB provides over 98 million pounds of healthy food each year to 600+ distribution sites across Eastern Massachusetts.
