LOCAL HEROES

Our Mission

LOCAL HEROES, Inc is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization working to support our local servicemen and servicewomen and their families.

100% of all donations received go directly to these local heroes. Since November, 2004 we have met weekly to pack and ship packages to the men and women from the metropolitan area serving overseas.

We recently celebrated our 4th anniversary on November 3rd, 2008. In that time we have shipped over 8500 packages. We average 40 to 50 20 lb. packages each week and incur postage charges of $700 to $800 per week!

Our needs are obvious – we need materials to send (See our “Need List” attached) and cash donations to meet that brutal weekly postage expense. Your help will be greatly appreciated.Need to Contact Us?
