Robert Irvine Foundation

The Robert Irvine Foundation’s programs support heroes and their families through Food, Wellness, Community, and Financial Support. Its Food Programs offer shared meals to promote bonding, address food insecurity, and mentors veteran culinary entrepreneurs. The Wellness Programs provide opportunities for healing to address the invisible and visible wounds of our nation’s heroes by reconnecting combat units, matching service dogs, and offering adaptive mobility devices. Its Community Programs foster connection through resiliency events, education, base visits, and more. Financial Support eases burdens with grants and scholarships for service members, veterans, Gold Star Families, and surviving loved ones. Together, these efforts have impacted over one million heroes, their families, and civilians, creating lasting and meaningful change.

The life experiences of service members, veterans, Gold Star Families, first responders, and their loved ones can only be deeply understood by one another. We bring these heroes together for resiliency-building events that provide an opportunity to share and bond. Our heroes may arrive feeling alone, but they walk away with a renewed sense of family.

Fewer than 1 in 10 Americans serve in the military. We’re raising awareness about the ever-changing needs of those who protect our nation and their families by bringing local communities together for special events that inform and inspire.
