August 30 marks the day U.S. troops withdrew from Afghanistan, ending a 20-year war. Yellow Ribbon Fund was founded in response to the needs of injured service members returning home without nearby support for their families during recovery.

This date symbolizes our ongoing mission to ensure wounded warriors and their loved ones never face the journey alone.

Every dollar you donate from August 29–31 will be doubled by generous matching sponsors. That means your gift goes twice as far to support wounded veterans, their families, and caregivers.
