Mission: Yellow Ribbon Fund (YRF) is a 501(c)3 veteran service organization, dedicated to serving severely ill and injured post-9/11 wounded service members and their families from every branch of the United States Military, following unexpected medical crises. YRF provides the programs that make daily life more manageable for the wounded and their family caregivers. Our Crossroads Program helps service members and their families who face long stays while in recovery, such as providing hotel rooms, apartments, and rental cars. Our Keystone program focuses on life skills development, respite, and health and wellness. YRF proudly services over 1,600 active caregivers and has had over 21,000 recipients since 2005.
Results: Over 1,500 active caregivers served monthly, average 186 hotel nights per month, 10 rental cars per month and over 21,000 recipients served since 2005.
Target demographics: Wounded, ill and injured service members and their families/caregivers
Geographic areas served: Maryland, Virginia, California, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee
Programs: Apartments, hotels, rental cars, - immediate needs of families and caregivers who come to Walter Reed Military Medical Center or Ft. Belvoir to receive medical care. We are especially committed to helping caregivers cope with the stress associated with caring for loved ones through surgeries and rehabilitative care. Family presence makes such a positive difference for the recovering service member, and Yellow Ribbon Fund fills the gaps not covered by the military. We are committed to supporting those who have given so much to us already - military families with injured service members.
