Description

Operation Hero's Hill is a transformative initiative by Mayor Glenn Jacobs, dedicated to ending veteran homelessness by providing safe, stable, and dignified housing for those who have given much in defense of our country. No Veteran should be without a place to call home in the country they swore to defend, and with your support, Operation Hero's Hill can provide safe shelter to 20 unhoused Veterans currently living here in our community. Join us as we run, walk, and muscle-up for this amazing cause in our inaugural event.
