About Wounded Warrior Project
Mission: The mission of Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is to honor and empower wounded warriors. Our vision is to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of injured service members in our nation's history. We fulfill our mission and strive to meet our vision by CONNECTING, SERVING, and EMPOWERING the wounded men and women who so bravely volunteered to serve our nation on or after the events of September 11, 2001.
Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) began in 2003 as a small, grassroots effort providing simple care and comfort items to the hospital bedsides of the first wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As their post-service needs evolved, so have WWP's programs and services, which include mental health, career counseling, and long-term rehabilitative care - improving the lives of millions of warriors and their families, all at no cost to them. Today, WWP serves more than 147,000 warriors and over 37,200 family support members around the world, with 44 new registrants each day. Within our large community, 340 warriors and 87 family support members are served in Delaware.
Our mission - to honor and empower wounded warriors - is critical, and we fulfill this mission in three distinct ways:
• Provide direct programs and services to warriors and their families
• Advocate for injured service members and their families in Washington, DC
• Collaborate with other military and veterans support organizations to amplify the effects of our efforts
These efforts require the passion and commitment of friends, supporters, and like-minded organizations who enable us to guarantee, as much as possible, that when those who serve come home, they're afforded every opportunity to be as successful as a civilian as they were in the military. When they're ready to start their next mission, we stand ready to serve.
COVID-19 Response:
Amid the COVID-19 crisis, we continue to support wounded veterans and their family members through innovative methods of program delivery.
Some of the creative ways we are adapting our programming include live streaming connection opportunities with fellow warriors, online physical health and wellness challenges, and telehealth options to help reduce stress, manage anxiety, and build resilience. In addition, signature programs for wounded warriors and their families like WWP Talk, Benefits Service, and Warriors to Work® are available virtually.
During these uncertain times, ensuring the health and well-being of those we serve remains our greatest concern. For us to keep this critical work going, we need your support now more than ever. Please consider giving today. Every donation - big or small - makes a difference.
