We are an ALL VOLUNTEER (no one is paid) organization comprised of community leaders, business owners, military spouses, and military family members. Our advisor team includes active duty service members who volunteer their time, a wounded warrior to give us perspective, retirees, and single service members. It takes a village to accomplish our goals... and it's really all of our volunteers all over the country who make OHH work.
