In our first episode of The Outreach Project, we sit down with Hometown Hero Outdoors, a nonprofit dedicated to reconnecting veterans and first responders through peer-led outdoor experiences.

Hometown Hero Outdoors creates space for healing, connection, and community by getting people outside — hunting, fishing, camping, and simply spending time together with others who understand the weight of service. This conversation goes beyond the mission statement to explore why this work matters, how shared experiences build trust, and what real outreach looks like when it’s done with intention.

We talk purpose after service, the power of community, and how organizations like HHO are filling gaps that formal systems often can’t. This episode sets the tone for what The Outreach Project is about: honest conversations, real impact, and highlighting organizations that are doing the work when no one’s watching.
