The Mission

Hometown Hero Outdoors was founded with one primary goal - to extend our reach to every first responder, military service member, and veteran and ensure that they can temporarily escape the daily stress and frustration of civilian life through a safe outdoor adventure of their choosing.

By facilitating outdoor activities such as hunting in Alaska, camping in the Pacific Northwest, and fishing off the coast of Florida (to name a few), we give them the opportunity to:

Connect with individuals who have experienced similar situations

Begin the mental healing process through outdoor fun and relaxation

Build a strong and positive support system for moving forward

Conquer challenges, overcome obstacles, and settle into civilian life

About HHO

Hometown Hero Outdoors' is a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit with the mission of providing first responders, military service members, and military veterans with outdoor opportunities to assist in healing and building healthy relationships within the community.

These outdoor adventures are a form of recreational therapy. It's a way to encourage these frustrated, stressed, and struggling individuals to get off the couch and onto the water, into the woods, or even up a mountain with like-minded individuals with similar backgrounds. This ultimately provides them with a strong community of supporters who will listen with understanding ears, celebrate their achievements, and be there for them through thick and thin.

Our ultimate vision is to have a future where Hometown Hero Outdoors assists all first responders, military service members, and veterans in conquering the challenges they face as they attempt to integrate into society.
