Our Work
Veterans & Active Duty
Those who serve shouldn't navigate hardship alone. Around here, they don't have to.
We work alongside local veteran organizations, the people who know their members best, to support veterans and active-duty service members with health-related assistance, quality-of-life help, and the plain assurance that their community remembers them.
Areas of focus
- Assistance for veterans facing disability or health-related challenges
- Mental-health awareness and connection to qualified resources
- Quality-of-life initiatives for veterans and their families
- Care packages for deployed service members
- Community recognition of local service members and veterans
Please note: TPFF does not provide clinical mental-health treatment. If you or a veteran you know is in crisis, call or text 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line.

Operation Labor of Love
A cookout. A beach afternoon. One last easy weekend. That's Labor Day for most of us. For service members deployed overseas, it can be one more day far from all of it.
Operation Labor of Love launches this year to close that distance a little: care packages of practical items, comfort items, and handwritten notes, assembled by their hometown and shipped overseas around Labor Day. Contents follow guidance from our military and veteran partners, so every item is welcome, useful, and permitted. The plan is built to repeat, every year, around the same weekend.
