Located in the Baltimore-Washington area, Voices of Vets is a 501(c)(3) non-profit performing group. Our goal is to perform in every veteran home in the United States. We also perform at other related veterans' events. For us, it is not only about the performance, but also our interaction with the veterans. We provide small gifts for each veteran (flags, fans, leis, flowers, etc.), and make a connection with every veteran in attendance. Veterans that entered the room lethargic and uninterested are completely transformed as they hear their favorite songs. They open their eyes, tap their feet, and are able to sing the words to the songs they love. It is truly special to see how a single show can enhance quality of life for those who served our country.
Fisher House Foundation builds comfort homes where military & veterans families can stay free of charge, while a loved one is in the hospital. These homes are located at military and VA medical centers around the world. Fisher Houses have up to 21 suites, with private bedrooms and baths. Families share a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a warm dining room and an inviting living room. Since inception, the program has saved military and veterans’ families an estimated $407 million in out of pocket costs for lodging and transportation. Fisher House Foundation also operates the Hero Miles program, using donated frequent flyer miles to bring family members to the bedside of injured service members as well as the Hotels for Heroes program using donated hotel points to allow family members to stay at hotels near medical centers without charge. The Foundation also manages a grant program that supports other military charities and scholarship funds for military children, spouses and children of fallen and disabled veterans.

Full Circle Home is a 100% volunteer not-for-profit organization that connects deployed service members with their loved ones across the country and on bases around the world. Since 2007, Full Circle Home has helped over 15,000 troops send their holiday gifts and love notes to their Heroes at Home. The simple act of giving a gift with a hand written note can bridge the gap between our troops and those who support them. The troops share with us how deserving their loved ones are. These gift packages allow them to express their gratitude and recognize the sacrifices made by those at home. The gifts are a daily reminder of the love of their service member and the appreciation of sponsors across the country. This connection provides encouragement and support for both those at home and those overseas, because the whole family is affected by a deployment.
