Founded in 2009, Help Our Military Heroes provides grants to active duty service members and veterans who require ramp-entry, adapted minivans, vans and SUVs.

Help Our Military Heroes (HOMH) was founded to make a difference in the lives of our most severely wounded, injured and/or ill service men and women who had served since the start of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Our mission is to restore the mobility, freedom, and independence they lost when they suffered their catastrophic wounds, injuries and/or illnesses. Our goal is always to ensure that our Veterans get the vehicles they need with no out-of-pocket expense. Since our inception, HOMH has awarded over 225 adaptive vehicle grants to some of our Nation’s most deserving, and most inspiring, service men and women, and in 2019 we expanded our program to include pre-Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans as well. We are proud to have helped Veterans from all branches of Service, and from every war and conflict going back to WW II!

HOMH is a registered 501(c)(3), non-profit organization founded to help Veterans with  100% service-connected wounds, injuries, and/or illnesses. HOMH's founding members and board members cover ALL non-program expenses, which means 100% of public donations go toward the purchase of modified vehicles for our heroes. HOMH recognizes that every case is different, and works with each individual to provide a vehicle with modifications specific to his or her needs. Since 2016, HOMH has focused solely on its vehicle program, and no longer provides assistance for any other needs.

HOMH was co-founded in 2009 by Laurie and Ted Hollander and Marybeth Vandergrift and a dozen close friends and advocates. Our Board of Directors  is composed of veterans, educators, philanthropists, and business executives who come together with one goal: to make life better for our wounded servicemen and women.

We share a strong passion and love for our country and have a desire to help the young men and women who have served in the military and are transitioning into civilian life with challenging injuries and painful rehabilitation
