Warrior Support Team Weekly Service History

 

To learn how to meet the needs of our Wounded, Ill, and Injured (WII) Warriors and understand how we can best assist them in recovery, we build relationships with them at military treatment facilities each week by bringing freshly prepared meals and volunteer fellowship to the dining room table. Our warriors and their family members pick up resources from us, talk with us, and we listen. This program is perhaps the single most important component of what we do for the WII Warriors; it is the beginning of a lasting relationship of trust, support, and service.


 

As Purple Heart Hero Support™, we served nearly 35,000 warriors and their family members from 2007 through 2013. In our Warrior Support Team program, we've served over 6000 warriors from January, 2014 through February, 2015. Our services to the wounded, ill, and injured warriors and their family members continue on a weekly basis.

In addition to the moderated, OPSEC-compliant social media groups, chat rooms, and informative websites, several outreach programs to support Marines and families before, during and after the Marine Corps are provided by the organization.
