Each donation helps Louisiana veterans rebuild their lives with dignity, faith, and stability. Your support provides meals, housing assistance, and essential resources that restore hope and connection for those who’ve served.
Each donation extends hope to veterans who live far from VA hospitals and resources. Your support helps them find housing, healthcare, and stability—restoring dignity and faith to those who have served our country with honor.
Together, we honor their sacrifice by standing in the gap when distance or hardship threatens to leave them behind.

CEO: Racquel Edmond










We promise to stand in the gap for veterans who live far from military resources — honoring their service with dignity, building community, and providing the support they need to thrive at home.
