Built by Experience. Powered by Heart.
Pacific Project Heroes, founded in 2010 to support a friend wounded in Iraq, is a volunteer-driven movement providing direct aid and community support to veterans, law enforcement, and firefighters. It also contributes to organizations with shared missions, including Rivers of Recovery, Wiley’s Wish, Operation Creekside, and the Peace Officer Memorial Run.
Mission & Purpose
At Pacific Project Heroes, we are committed to serving those who serve our nation and communities — our military, law enforcement, and first responders. Through direct assistance, community outreach, and critical support programs, we aim to honor their sacrifices and stand beside them in times of need. We believe that supporting our heroes means supporting their families, their recovery, and their continued service.
Our purpose is to create long-term impact for those who serve and their families through strategic support, community connection, and volunteer-led action rooted in honor and gratitude.
Choose to Donate to a Specific Cause
Every cause we support is vital. Whether you choose to support veterans, first responders, scholarships, or our general fund, your gift makes a real difference. While we honor donor preferences whenever possible, flexibility allows us to respond to the most pressing needs.
Rivers of Recovery
Help combat veterans heal through science-based, outdoor therapy that strengthens mental health, builds resilience, and fosters connection with nature, community, and recovery.
Wiley's Wish
Support veterans living with PTSD by providing trained service dogs that reduce anxiety, restore independence, and improve quality of life for those transitioning back to civilian life.
Operation Creekside
Honor veterans and support grieving families through faith-led outreach, care packages, and custom memorial benches that remember those lost to suicide and bring hope through Christ.
Wreaths across America
Honor fallen heroes with Wreaths Across America, a national movement that remembers, honors, and teaches by placing wreaths on veterans’ graves each December.
