Carrying a myHERObag shows your dedication to the men and women who put their lives on the line for our country. We believe that support shouldn't end with the product itself, but should be carried on by the company that makes it as well. To that end, the non-profit that receives the majority of our giving toward making America a better and stronger place, is Homes For Our Troops.
If you watch ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, you might already be familiar with this organization (so far they've teamed up to provide the families of three severely wounded servicemen homes they can truly live in). Homes For Our Troops was founded by a building contractor who kept hearing about wounded service members and wondered what happened when they returned home and tried to resume their lives. He went looking for a charity where he could donate his time and construction experience. When he found none, he founded his own, and Homes for Our Troops was born in 2004.
Since that time they're completed work on some eighteen homes, with another seventeen projects in progress, right now.
None have probably said it as well as their VP Kirt Rebello -
"I can't think of a better cause right now, than helping our wounded service men and women as they return from battle. Nobody deserves the "American Dream" of home ownership more than those who have fought and sacrificed to defend it."
So myHERObag is honored to continue giving to Homes For Our Troops, we hope you'll agree it is a cause that deserves our support.
