Face-to-Face Fundraising

Every day, our passionate, trained fundraisers are out in the community sharing the urgent challenges our families face – and the lifesaving support that Operation Homefront provides across our great nation. 

Through these meaningful, in-person conversations, our Face-to-Face Fundraising teams raise awareness and inspire thousands of people to become recurring donors.  Reliable, ongoing donations allow Operation Homefront to respond immediately when crisis strike and to consistently address military and veteran families most pressing needs – from food insecurity, critical financial assistance with a family’s basic needs, to temporary or permanent housing for those critical transitions to civilian life. 

How Our Fundraisers Work

Operation Homefront partners with a trusted Fundraising agency, GiveBridge, to help us reach as many supporters as possible.  Every fundraiser representing Operation Homefront is a paid, professional fundraiser who is trained to speak about our mission, programs and the impact you can have as an ongoing supporter.

You can easily identify an official Operation Homefront Fundraiser by:

• An Operation Homefront branded blue polo-shirt.
• A name badge displaying their name, ID number, and the agency they work for.
• A tablet used to securely collect donations.

Our fundraisers are friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to answer your questions about how your recurring support helps the military and veteran families thrive. 

If you have questions about the legitimacy of a fundraiser, you can always contact our Supporter Experience Center at info@operationhomefront.org or call (210) 659-7756.

How much of my donation goes to Operation Homefront?

100% of every donation made through face-to-face fundraising goes to Operation Homefront. We pay a fee to our agencies for every new donor from a dedicated fundraising budget, not from donations made by the new donor. Operation Homefront invests wisely in fundraising activities to ensure we have the greatest impact possible for our military families. Our Financials are available if you would like to learn more.

What is a Homefront Hero?

A Homefront Hero is Operation Homefront’s membership program for our generous donors who contribute via recurring gifts. Members of our Homefront Heroes provide constant, reliable support to Operation Homefront, allowing a greater opportunity to proudly serve those who serve our country.

Donations are always needed to continue to execute our mission, and monthly support through Homefront Heroes ensures that our military service members and their families receive emergency assistance quickly and that our wounded heroes get the help they so desperately need.
