Who We Are
About Hero’s Bridge:
Hero’s Bridge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving older veterans, age 65 and older, wherever they live.
We offer distinct programs that meet the most common needs of senior veterans, and also creating opportunities for volunteers of all ages to connect with and support our senior veterans. This approach strengthens both groups, creating a supportive community that enhances quality of life for all involved. In essence, Hero’s Bridge serves as a “bridge” to improved well-being, dignity, and connection for the veterans we honor.
What We Do
We bridge our veterans to a better quality of life through our age-specific and innovative programs. These services are available to our heroes wherever they call home, at no expense to them or their families.
