HeroBox

the problem:

Deployed service members have very specific needs while away from home based on a variety of factors. The typical care package they receive doesn't contain the items they need and want. We have developed a solution for this.

vital stats:

people impacted:

3,000

people involved:

50

why it's important:

I was deployed and saw the need first hand.

the plan of action:

We developed a web platform that connects deployed service members with state-side sponsors who are able to provide the items their heroes need and want while away from home.
