Behind every name in the Support Our Heroes Directory, there’s a deeper purpose—and when a business chooses a paid listing, it’s about far more than visibility.
These Supporter Businesses are doing more than promoting their products or services. They’re actively investing in a national movement that uplifts veteran and first responder communities through visibility, outreach, and vital support programs.
Here’s why it matters—and how these businesses are playing a critical role in keeping veterans and their families on mission after service.
🌟 Supporting the Directory = Supporting the Mission
The Support Our Heroes Directory isn’t just a website—it’s a growing national platform powered by Red Friday Talks, designed to:
- Connect veterans and first responders to purpose-driven businesses
- Create public awareness through storytelling and video media
- Amplify voices through advocacy and education campaigns
- Provide tools and resources to veteran- and responder-owned businesses
- Support mental health, transition, and peer-led recovery initiatives
The funding that comes from paid directory listings helps cover the operational costs of these essential programs and gives us the ability to promote, produce, and expand high-impact media that brings real stories to the forefront.
💼 Why Supporter Businesses Deserve Recognition
When a company pays to be listed, they’re not just buying space—they’re making a statement of support.
Paid listings include a Supporter badge and are highlighted throughout the directory, not only for their products or services, but for their commitment to giving back. Many also offer special discounts, perks, or exclusive services for veterans and first responders as part of their pledge.
Whether it’s a small local shop or a national brand, these businesses are putting their values into action—and they deserve to be celebrated.
🔁 The Ripple Effect: Media, Outreach, and Services
Funds from supporter listings directly fuel:
- Media production that shares authentic stories of life after service
- Veteran and first responder features through social channels and blog content
- Mental health education initiatives aligned with Red Friday Talks
- Community events and campaigns that promote healing, entrepreneurship, and connection
This isn’t charity—it’s strategic, sustainable community building.
