Homegrown4Heroes plans to expand its use of print and direct mail to further amplify our reach and impact. We aim to develop targeted campaigns that address specific segments of our audience, such as recently discharged veterans, medical professionals, and local businesses.

We use direct mail to invite thousands of supporters each year to events like our spring 5K and family festival, Makin' Strides for Strays or our fall event, Growlers for Howlers which takes place at a local brewery. All proceeds from our events benefit the animals of A.D.O.P.T. Pet Shelter.

In summary, print and direct mail are not just communication tools for us; they are powerful instruments of change and empowerment. Through these mediums, we strive to create a compassionate and supportive community where every individual on their recovery journey finds solace, empowerment, and renewed purpose. A print grant would be instrumental in realizing this vision, enabling us to expand our reach, deepen our impact, and enrich the lives of those we serve.
