Too many Veterans and Active Duty Military Members struggle silently after service. Basic needs like food and essentials should never be a burden for those who protected our freedom. Vest Up 4 the Fallen stands in the gap — with action, accountability, and compassion. Access to food reduces financial stress, improves physical and mental health, and allows veterans to focus on healing, stability, and independence. 

Vest Up 4 the Fallen – Annual 65-Mile Event

Held over Memorial Day weekend, this 65-mile journey honors the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedoms. This event is not about recognition or competition—it’s a solemn tribute. Each step is a silent act of remembrance, a physical and mental challenge that embodies the true purpose of Memorial Day: to honor, to reflect, and to ensure the legacy of the fallen endures.

Hands Up 4 Our Heroes provides targeted, mission-driven assistance to military members, veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families, likeminded organizations and the next generation looking to go into the military or become a first responder. 

We honor fallen heroes with lasting tributes, displayed in homes, firehouses, military bases, and community centers—a permanent symbol of courage, service, and sacrifice.

A signature program bringing together veterans, first responders, and civilians through: Physical challenges and community event, Supportive experiences that strengthen resilience and well-being, Opportunities to connect, recharge, and grow

Each year, Give 2 Those awards scholarships to honor young people and community heroes dedicated to service.

At Give2Those, we believe in lifting up other organizations that share our mission to serve veterans, first responders, and their families. Over the years, we’ve partnered with and supported a variety of local and national nonprofits to maximize our collective impact.

​Community Outreach & Support program is dedicated to connecting veterans, first responders, and their families with the resources and recognition they deserve. Through a variety of initiatives, we help ensure that those who serve our communities are supported, appreciated, and empowered.

The Thin Line Arrow Archery program was a unique initiative by Give2Those designed to bring communities together in support of veterans and first responders through the sport of archery. Participants of all skill levels joined in competitions and events that celebrated focus, discipline, and teamwork.

While this program is no longer active, it remains a part of Give2Those’ history of honoring those who serve, and helped set the stage for our current initiatives like Vest Up 4 the Fallen and our scholarship programs.
