Since 2005, Homefront America and its supporters have actively reached out to provide our military families whose service members are serving our country from the Air, on the Land, on the Water, and Under the Sea.
According to the organization’s Founder, President and CEO, Arthur Hasselbrink, “We pride ourselves on providing a healthy array of programs throughout the year for our military families. Our programs are designed primarily to empower our military families, especially the children. Many of them have had a parent deployed three or more times since 09/11. It is important that they know America appreciates their sacrifices; and loves them.”

AMERICAN PATRIOT FREEDOM SCHOLARSHIPS

2006, forty-five $ 1,000.00 scholarships have been awarded to assist military
dependent children in their pursuit of excellence. Awardees are selected based
on essays submitted on topics chosen by the organization. The scholarships may
be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies, or room and board expenses. The
organization is currently seeking to establish an endowment in an effort to

This
program brings smiles to both adults and children alike. Sponsors delight in
making the baskets, and the children overjoyed in receiving them.
The program provides each registered child with an Easter basket Custom Made with love and filled with goodies. In addition to receiving an Easter basket, children also enjoy an Easter egg hunt. To view past Homefront Easter events, please click here.
BACK TO SCHOOL “PACK FOR SUCCESS”
What
better way to help empower our little Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Soldiers,
than to provide them with the tools they need to succeed in life.
The program provides each registered child with a backpack filled with the
necessary school supplies to help him/her succeed. Each backpack is custom tailored to the child’s gender and age. This ensures that a kindergartener does not receive protractor, or a high schooler receives a box of crayons. To view past Back to School “Pack for Success” events, please click here.
Every
child loves to dress up. This is especially true on Halloween. To ensure that
our little Goblins and Ghouls will have the opportunity to dress up in their
favorite Super Hero or Princess outfits, Homefront America and their supporters
are there to help provide this need. To view past Halloween events, please

Our
sponsors never cease to amaze us with their outpouring of love and support for
our military families. Their kindness and generosity go beyond the words
“spirit of giving.” Their support has made it possible for us to reach out to
countless military families during the holiday season with gifts and meals.
To ensure that “no child is left behind,” the organization sponsors two different programs during the holiday season. Homefront Santa and Gifts for our Little Unsung Heroes.
Homefront Santa endeavors to match Sponsors to military families; and Gifts for our Little Unsung Heroes provides each registered child with unwrapped toys or gift cards.In addition, holiday meals for families are also provided.
