When a service member is wounded, ill or injured and requires hospitalization or rehabilitation, the military provides comprehensive care and support directly to the service member. However, many families are not located near Walter Reed Hospital and face logistical and financial difficulties, including transportation and housing.

This is where Yellow Ribbon Fund steps in and fills in the gaps of care with two core programs: Crossroads and Keystone

Crossroads:
Yellow Ribbon Fund provides practical support to post 9/11 active-duty and disabled veterans by offering rental cars, hotel stays, and fully-furnished apartments at no cost to military families while they are receiving medical treatment at Walter Reed Hospital.

Keystone:
Yellow Ribbon Fund empowers veterans, families, and caregivers throughout the country, both in-person and virtually, offering: recreational and respite events, fitness and wellness activities, life skills training and educational classes, networking, and peer-to-peer support.
