The Nathan Hale Foundation’s mission is to unite people, communities and governments to work towards a common goal: the health and welfare of veterans and active duty troops and their families. The organization believes veterans’ needs should transcend any personal or political agenda, and the Foundation aims to make the citizens of this Nation aware of the personal, professional and financial hardships these brave men and women face. The Nathan Hale Foundation offers support on a number of levels, offering direct service to veterans as well as transportation services, readjustment counseling, food assistance and a creative arts program. Through the foundation’s volunteer opportunities, the average American is able to make a difference and give back to their local heroes.
