A community of housebound veterans

No veteran stands watch alone.

Operation Home is a community of housebound veterans looking out for one another — someone to talk to, people who understand, and a hand when you need one. You're not on your own here.

Our mission

A community that has each other's backs

Operation Home brings housebound veterans together to support one another — someone who will listen, people who understand what you're carrying, and steady connection so no one faces life at home alone. When we're able, we also learn and build things together.

You don't need a particular disability rating or any paperwork to join. If illness, injury, age, a lack of transportation, caregiving, or where you live keeps you close to home, you belong here.

Reasons veterans reach out

Whatever brings you here is welcome

"I just need somebody to talk to." Connection — a call, a video visit, or a regular check-in.
"I feel cut off from everyone." Community — online groups and virtual events with other veterans.
"I don't know where to find help." Information — we help you find the next step.
"I need a specific service." Resources — we help you reach the right organization.
"I want something to do." Participation — gentle ways to take part from home.
"I'd like to help another veteran." Purpose — when you're ready, you can give back too.

Things we do together

Learning and building, side by side

Beyond good company, veterans in the community share what they know and pick up new skills together — at your own pace, with others right beside you. Join in if and when you're ready.

Start a home business Turn a skill or a hobby into income you run from your living room — alongside veterans who've done it.
3D printing Design and print real products to sell, repair, or give — no workshop required.
Learning AI Use AI tools to work smarter, create, and open new kinds of work from home.
Learning to code Build websites, apps, and skills that pay — one step at a time, together.

What to expect

How it works when you reach out

1

We listen

First, we ask what you need and what would make things better. We won't assume we already know.

2

We understand together

We figure out what kind of help fits — company, information, a resource, or something to be part of.

3

We connect you

That might be another veteran, one of our groups, or an outside organization that's right for you.

4

We follow up

We don't just hand you a phone number and wish you luck. We check whether it worked — and if not, we help you find another path.

Our promise to you

What you can count on

Being gentle and honest

A little about what we're not

We'll never pretend to be something we're not. We're not a hospital, a doctor or therapist, a lawyer, or the VA — and we're not an emergency service. What we can do is walk with you to the people who are.

  • We don't provide medical or mental-health treatment, but we can help you find it.
  • We don't give legal or financial advice, but we can point you to those who do.
  • We can't guarantee a benefit or the outcome of a VA claim — we'll help you find qualified assistance.
  • We ask only for the information we truly need. Your story is yours.
  • No politics, no religion required — ever. This is for every veteran.

A family member or caregiver is always welcome to reach out on your behalf.

When you're ready

You have something to offer, too

A veteran at home can still change another veteran's week — as a telephone buddy, a mentor, or by teaching a skill you already have: a trade, a craft, 3D printing, code, or how you built your own business. There's never any pressure. The answer can be "yes," "not right now," or "maybe someday." The door will always be open.
