Become a Part of Our Volunteer Reserve
Operation Homefront relies heavily on our more than 4,000 volunteers who support our mission and help us deliver our programs.
Their commitment and support is what allows Operation Homefront to make a real and positive difference in the lives of our military families and veterans.
Are you looking for military organizations to volunteer for? Then consider joining Operation Homefront’s volunteer reserve.
This cadre of trained volunteers agrees to assist military personnel and serve military families in their time of need. The Volunteer Reserve Corps allows members to serve as often as they like or only at specific events. We urge you to consider volunteering with our organization.
Members of our volunteer reserve can progress through different levels, according to the training required.
As part of this program, corporations are also able to offer customized support to service members and their families.

Meet Our 2021 Volunteer of the Year
Sharon is from Texas and joined Operation Homefront’s volunteer reserve in 2019 after her arduous search for military organizations to volunteer for. In 2020, Sharon was determined to take a more active volunteer role so she became a Team Captain. Sharon then became a Volunteer Administrator who supported Region 5 in 2021.
Sharon supports eight states between Florida and Texas recruiting volunteers for events, conducting surveys, and assisting with other administrative duties. Furthermore, Sharon organizes Dollar Tree staff pick-ups for Operation Homefront’s Back-to-School Brigade and Holiday Toy Drive.
For the past two years, Operation Homefront family events have been delivered in a drive-thru format. Sharon smiles and says the same emotions and feelings are there in the drive-thru events and you still see the excitement – looking in the car windows.
Sharon would like to encourage everyone to consider joining our volunteer reserve. “The feeling that you get by volunteering is incredible. They did their service to the country, so we need to do our service to them.” This is how Sharon serves her country – by serving military and veteran families at Operation Homefront events.
We congratulate Sharon on being named Volunteer of the Year!
