Heroes to Hometowns Washington State

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 extends our service to include Veterans and our organization now has over fifty different agencies spanning active duty components, a large number of civilian volunteer groups associated with providing support to military, veterans and and their families. We have agencies from Pierce, Kitsap, Thurston, King and Snohomish Counties and their are over eighty represented on the Advisory Council. The group holds a monthly meeting (2nd Tuesday 9:30 - 11:30am) to coordinate activities. 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.
