Meet our ALL VOLUNTEER team.

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, wounded warriors 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.

After nearly 14 years of volunteering with us and serving on our Board of Directors for the past 7 years, our amazing leader, Wendy, is moving on to new adventures. She will continue to serve in her role  as treasurer to help us transition through the end of August. 

Wendy--- you've worked so hard for thousands upon thousands of service members over the years. You are not replaceable, but we know so many years of dedicating yourself in the way you have takes its toll. We can't wait to hear about the things you do with the endless hours you have given us for years freed up. We love you!
