What does The Fallen Outdoors do?

The Fallen Outdoors is a veteran-run, all-volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting veterans, service members, and Gold Star families through outdoor activities. Founded in 2009 by three soldiers in Afghanistan, the organization focuses on organizing therapeutic outdoor adventures, including hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping, all provided at no cost to participants. With chapters across nearly every state in the U.S., The Fallen Outdoors serves over 200,000 veterans annually. Their mission is to foster connections among veterans and service members while teaching them lifelong skills and passions. The organization operates without paid staff, relying on local chapter Facebook pages to coordinate events and activities.
