Help Soldiers 
in your community

Soldiers Helping Soldiers is an entirely volunteer-based organization. Our success is based on the efforts of our compassionate and caring volunteers — serving military, veterans, and citizens at large.

Partner up

We promote partnership with local military community and family services, housing, health, civil services, and mental well-being organizations. We enable veterans to access those partners to serve and address their individual needs.
