WHY THE MILITARY?
Simply, these guys and gals are our heroes. Whatever branch, whatever job. They are put right here in our back yard at Barksdale (where this all began) and our desire is to be boots on the ground, actively involved in the lives of these great men and women who do not have that extended family around them.
WHAT IS EVERYWARRIOR.ORG?
EveryWarrior.org is a 501(c)(3) For-Impact Organization (a.k.a. Non-Profit) serving our currently serving military community. We are headquartered in the Shreveport/Bossier area of Northwest Louisiana but have a global reach that allows us to touch the lives of Warriors around the world.
HOW IS EVERYWARRIOR FUNDED?
We are financially funded 100% by donations from individuals, families, organizations, & businesses, as well as sponsorships for certain programs, events, and projects. Whether it is a $25 recurring donation or a one-time gift, your giving furthers our mission.
No, we are an independent charity organization led by both civilians and service members. Our goal is to actively build and nurture trusted working relationships with the leadership on the military installation so that we can be a support for both them and their Warriors. We stand as a supplement to the resources in and around the military. We may not be technically affiliated, but we work on the same team and have the same dream...which is to care for our Warriors.
WHY THE BISON?
The Bison represents what we want to help our Warriors do...and that's face the approaching storm head-on. Click the link below to read the story of the mighty Bison. Read the story!
CAN I TALK TO SOMEONE OR GET COUNSELING?
Yes, you sure can.
Our Founder and Executive Director, Trey McGuire, meets regularly with Warriors for counseling free of charge.
Should you need further help, we have partnerships with various licensed professional counselors in which we will pay for the first three visits of anyone we refer.
All financial contributions help us execute our mission of taking care of Warriors. You can get a more detailed idea of where we use our funding here. Although some of our funding does cover basic administrative costs, events, and by far the vast majority of our finances go directly to a Warrior in the middle of their crisis.
CAN I GET INVOLVED?
As a grassroots organization, volunteers are the workhorses of the mission, and there are many ways for Warriors, dependents, and civilians to get involved. What's unique about us is that, while there are times when we do need volunteers for specific things, we strive to equip you to serve where you'll make a lasting impact. The best way to get started, whether you're just wanting to connect a little or you want to volunteer in some way, is to fill out our Engage With Us form.
CAN I DONATE GOODS?
Yes and no.
If we are doing a specific project or collection drive, or we know of a specific need, then YES. If you have something you want to donate to a Warrior, we ask that you go to our Every Warrior Family Group on Facebook and post the items you would like to give away. We can not serve as the "middle man", yet we can give you the means to get free, lightly used goods into the hands of the Warriors that need them.
Additionally, if you have a larger amount of items you'd like to donate, give us a call and we can further direct you to one of our partner organizations.
WHAT'S THE CATCH?
There isn't one! We're simply giving away hope, joy, family, fun, friendship, help, purpose, and whatever else you may need.
