Who We Are

Helping Hoosiers Heroes Foundation (HHHF) is an Indiana-based, veteran-led, IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in LaPorte County.

We exist because many people fall through the cracks — not because resources don't exist, but because the system is fragmented and confusing. HHHF makes the path obvious and helps people take the next step.

We are not a direct service provider — we are connectors. We build bridges between people who need help and the organizations that can provide it.
