Since its creation in 2002 Operation Homefront has met over 741,000 needs of military families and military personnel returning from duty.
Operation Homefront was developed to support the families of deployed service members immediately following 9/11. Operation Homefront is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. The organization currently provides services to military families across the nation with 23 locations serving 43 states. The national office handles cases in states that do not have their own local offices. The majority of its clients are the lowest-paid service members, the E-1 through E-6 enlisted ranks.
