Wounded Heroes Fund

Wounded Heroes Fund Dedicated to providing assistance to our brave service men and women. She could not help her father and other returning Vietnam veterans.

The Wounded Heroes Fund is a service organization for those Veterans affected by the war on terror in an effort to provide them with support and appreciation they need in their return to civilian life. The Wounded Heroes Fund (WHF) is a community-wide organization dedicated to providing assistance to brave service men and women returning home from the battlegrounds of Iraq and Afghanistan. Wendy P

orter, the daughter of a Vietnam veteran, realized that more needed to be accomplished, especially for service members and their families to resume life after war. However, as Executive Director of the Wounded Heroes Fund, she is leading the effort to help the men and women who fought for our freedom in the Middle East.

Thank you to Union Pacific for their generous grant donation in support of our Food Pantry Programs.

Because of community partners like Union Pacific, we can continue providing food assistance to local Veterans and their families when they need it most. This support helps ensure that no hero in our community has to face food insecurity alone.

Your investment in our mission creates a direct and lasting impact right here in Kern County.

Thank you for helping us serve those who have served us.

🇺🇸 Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate the birthday of the United States Army and honor the generations of Soldiers who have answered the call to serve our nation since June 14, 1775.

For 250 years, the Army has stood as a symbol of strength, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to protecting our freedoms. From the Revolutionary War to today’s missions around the world, Soldiers have embodied selfless service and a commitment to something greater than themselves.

To all who have worn the Army uniform—past and present—thank you for your service, sacrifice, and dedication to our country.

Happy Birthday, Army!

This We’ll Defend.

🇺🇸 D-Day – June 6, 1944 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the brave men who stormed the beaches of Normandy and changed the course of history.

In the face of overwhelming odds, they demonstrated extraordinary courage, selflessness, and determination in the fight for freedom. Many never returned home, giving their lives so future generations could live free.

Eighty-two years later, we continue to remember their sacrifice and the price that was paid for the liberties we enjoy today.

To the heroes of D-Day: your courage will never be forgotten, your sacrifice will never be overlooked, and your legacy will live on forever.

We remember. We honor. We are forever grateful.

🍨🇺🇸 WHF Approved — This One’s a New Favorite 🇺🇸🍨

Today, our team stopped by Dewar’s to try the Red, White & Blue Sundae… and it did not disappoint.

Safe to say — it is officially a new WHF favorite.

Even better, proceeds throughout the month of April support our local veterans through the Wounded Heroes Fund.

A special thank you to KUZZ for helping make this partnership possible.

Make sure to stop by any Dewar’s location, bring your friends and family, and enjoy a great treat for an even greater cause.
