Hidden Wounds Veterans Resource Center would like to give a huge thank you to the Warhorse Brotherhood MC - Shaw Field for allowing us to be the host location for your state meeting.
It was truly an honor to have such an outstanding group of veterans and patriots gathered here at Hidden Wounds. Events like this continue to strengthen the bonds within our veteran community and remind us what brotherhood, support, and service are all about.
We appreciate your trust in our center and look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Thank you for everything you do for veterans and the community.

Today, we’re calling on our community to stand with those who have stood for all of us.
Midlands Gives is more than a day of generosity; it’s a powerful, year-round movement connecting compassionate donors with organizations like Hidden Wounds that are committed to serving our nation’s heroes.
Every day, Hidden Wounds works on the front lines of a different kind of battle, fighting food insecurity, preventing homelessness, keeping the lights on for struggling families, and creating a safe place where veterans can be heard, understood, and supported. These are not distant issues. These are real challenges faced by the men and women who have served our country and their families right here in our community.
Now, we are taking our mission even further.
We are proud to announce that construction has begun on Hidden Wounds Village Alpha, a new housing initiative in partnership with VAlanthropy. This project represents hope, stability, and a fresh start for veterans who need it most. But we cannot do this alone.
We need your help.
Your donation, no matter the size, directly impacts the lives of veterans who are fighting to regain stability and dignity. It helps put food on the table, keeps families in their homes, and builds a future where no veteran feels forgotten.
Our heroes showed up when it mattered most. Now it’s our turn.
Please give today. Stand with Hidden Wounds. Stand with our veterans.
