22 veterans a day commit suicide.

Active Heroes’ mission is to reduce these numbers and help military families with a Retreat Center, a Community Center, free national events, home repairs, and scholarships.

• Visit the Military Family Retreat Center in Sheperdsville, Ky. This retreat combines nature, outdoor and physical activities, and family building challenges to provide a place of healing for active duty, veterans, and their families. There are even free camping weekends – sign up for a free camping weekend! Plus, a Military Family Community Center near the Retreat Center offers weekly seminars on education and job training, yoga, massage therapy, self defense, and other forms of physical fitness.
• Attend any of the free events, which are held around the country. Events like golf tournaments, CrossFit, Carry the Fallen ruck marches, obstacle course races, and more, are great ways to meet other veterans and military families. Find events near you.
• Veterans can apply for a full or half-tuition scholarship to Sullivan University.
• Active Heroes also offers grants for home repairs for veterans and active duty military who own or mortgage their homes. Currently, repairs can be done in Kentucky, Indiana, Texas, Florida, and Massachusetts.
