In creating a positive transition home, Heroes to Hometowns inspires community growth and establishes a support network for Service Members and their families that allows them to ease into their hometown or new surroundings.
Heroes to Hometowns was created by the Department of Defense in 2005 to enable and assist communities in developing programs to support military veterans and their families when the veterans were returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Pierce County Heroes to Hometowns organization now has over thirty different agencies, both active duty components and a large number of civilian volunteer groups associated with providing support to military personnel and their families. We have agencies from Pierce, Kitsap, Thurston, King and Snohomish Counties and their are thirty eight represented on the Advisory Council. The group holds a monthly meeting to coordinate their individual activities and there are also many meetings with sub-groups that meet throughout the month that provide assistance to the numerous clients that they all work with on a daily basis.
