Our Mission
The Home Front Cares mission is to provide support for Colorado’s OEF/OIF military of all services
and their families. This includes Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard personnel as well as
recently discharged or retired Veterans who have been impacted by deployment in harm’s way. We provide emergency financial assistance and in some cases goods and services.
About Us
The Home Front Cares is a non- profit 501(c) corporation that has helped more than 1,800 families, contributing over $1,330,000 in aid since our founding in 2003. THFC delivers assistance through a close collaboration with the Army Community Service at Fort Carson and the Family Support Centers at the United States Air Force Academy, Peterson Air Force Base, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, and Schriever Air Force Base. The family support centers identify and verify financial needs.
Our Programs
Grants to Families Fund | Assistance for car repairs, house repairs, childcare, evictions, food, and other family emergencies.
Energy Assistance Program | As an agency of Energy Outreach Colorado, THFC receives limited grants to pay energy bills for all Active Duty, Activated Reserve and National Guard, and recent medically released Veterans, living in Colorado, who need financial assistance. (Deployment not required)
Wounded Troops/Casualty Assistance Fund | Pays travel costs and incidental expenses of military family members traveling to visit seriously wounded service members in military hospitals. The same service is extended to family members to attend memorial services of service members killed in action.
Adaptive Housing and Vehicle Modification Program | Help for disabled military and veterans in the State of Colorado in obtaining housing and vehicle modifications necessary to improve their quality of life and to aid them in adapting to their disabilities.
Welcome Home GWOT Heroes Program | Started in January 2004, the Welcome Home GWOT Heroes Program has supported welcoming events for returning soldiers, airmen, and families along with Memorial Services, Wounded Warrior Socials, and other functions not readily supported by DOD funding. Welcome Home GWOT Heroes provides a link for local citizens to actively participate in welcoming home our Hungry Heroes via a partnership with the Southern Colorado McDonald's operators. It also supports special needs for wounded warrior units at local installation hospitals, rehabilitative facilities, and the Warrior Transition Unit.
