The Full Story
Heroes’ Turn Foundation is a new nonprofit organization based out of middle Tennessee, whose mission is to connect veterans, service members, and active and retired first responders with skilled trades and services. Life happens, and it’s sometimes the little things that mean the most. When Heroes experience financial hardships with their homes, property, vehicles, pets, or other necessary resources, that’s when Heroes’ Turn Foundation steps in. The possibilities are endless. Our organization will connect these Heroes to the services they need to get the job done, at no expense to them. Through donations from generous individuals and businesses, and with the help of our trade partners, Heroes’ Turn Foundation will take care of whatever situation presents itself, to ease the stress of those that have given all to serve us.

Example Missions
At Heroes' Turn Foundation, we don’t give out cash directly. Instead, we team up with local businesses that are willing to offer free or discounted services to our Heroes, and with donations from generous individuals, businesses, and corporations, we take care of the rest. Not all businesses are able to discount their rates, some may be able to slightly, other businesses may be able to provide significant discounts or free services. Each mission is unique. In all situations, the service will be provided at no cost to the Hero. All discounted or free services are considered tax deductible donations. Below are some examples of potential missions.
Home Repairs
John Policeman is a local police officer. He's been protecting and serving for over a decade. One day, John's A/C unit goes out in the middle of a sweltering summer day. The bill to replace it puts John's family in a challenging financial situation. Heroes' Turn Foundation steps in and finds a local HVAC company that is willing to discount their services to help our Hero. Helpful HVAC graciously discounts their bill 20%. Heroes' Turn Foundation pays the remaining 80%. John Policeman's family stays cool, Helpful HVAC feels good helping out a Hero (and receives a tax write-off for their donated services, plus recognition and free advertising on our website and social media channels), and Heroes' Turn Foundation completes another mission.
Vehicle Repairs
Sally Army Veteran served two tours in Iraq. Now, she's home and working to support her family. One day, Sally walks out to her driveway and gets in her car to head to work. Her car won't go into gear. She has it towed to the local mechanic and is told she'll need a new transmission. The bill puts an immense financial pressure on her family. Heroes' Turn Foundation steps in, finds a wonderful local mechanic willing to discount their services 50%, and the foundation pays the remaining 50%. Now Sally can get to work, the mechanic is happy to help a Hero in need (and get a tax write-off for the donated services, plus recognition and free advertising on our website and social media channels), and Heroes' Turn Foundation completes another mission.
Landscaping
Retired Fire Chief Jim Fireman is getting older and just can't seem to take care of his yard like he used to. The lawn has gotten out of control and the garden beds are a jungle of weeds. Hiring a landscaper is out of the question. It would put too big a strain on his family's finances. Heroes' Turn Foundation steps in and finds a local landscaping business that can fit Jim's house into their schedule. The landscaper is unable to provide a discount for services, so the foundation pays the entirety of the landscaper's bill. Jim Fireman's property is back to tip-top shape and Heroes' Turn Foundation completes another mission.
