The Heroes Compass Care Package aims to provide essential support and comfort to various communities, including deployed military personnel, homeless veterans, families of deployed military members, police officers, firefighters, and first responders. Each care package is thoughtfully curated to address the unique needs and challenges faced by these individuals, offering items such as hygiene products, non-perishable food items, clothing, personal care items, and uplifting messages of gratitude. Through this initiative, Heroes Compass seeks to express appreciation for the sacrifices made by these heroes and provide tangible assistance to enhance their well-being and morale.

Our in-house 3D printing program allows us to design and produce custom items that go directly into Heroes Compass care packages. By printing these pieces ourselves, we can keep costs low while creating meaningful, mission-driven items that add a personal touch to every package. This approach also gives us the flexibility to prototype new ideas, produce items on demand, and continuously find creative ways to support veterans and first responders through the care packages we deliver.

A Buddy Check is a simple way to reach out and remind someone they’re not alone. It’s about connection — a call, a text, a walk, or a handwritten note. For veterans and first responders, these small check-ins can make a life-changing difference.

Check in on someone today. You never know who might need it.

"Coining" is a long-standing tradition in the military. Its origins trace back to World War I. Challenge coins serve as powerful symbols of membership, camaraderie, and belonging. They are also used to honor achievements, dedication, and exemplary service.

Our challenge coin is used as a way to say "thank you for your service".

The Ruck to Remember exceeded all expectations, and we couldn't have done it without our incredible supporters. Together, we completed a challenging 22k ruck, carrying 22 pounds each, symbolizing the 22 veterans who face the daily battle of suicide.

But the impact doesn't stop there! During this extraordinary event, we raised funds, enabling us to provide adaptive equipment and gym scholarships to our deserving disabled veterans.

Additionally, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generosity, as hundreds of pounds of food were donated. These contributions will make a real difference in the lives of those in need. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey to honor our heroes and make a positive change in our community.

On Friday, July 14th, 2023, Fargo Police Officer Jake Wallin was killed at 23 years old while helping the town he committed to serve and protect. Officer Wallin also served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan through in the Minnesota Army Guard. We mourn the loss of this important, stand up servant of others. 

In the same senseless act of violence, two other Fargo Police officers were injured: Officer Andrew Dotas and officer Tyler Hawes. A fourth, Officer Zach Robinson, killed the gunman. These heroes risk their lives every day to serve their community. We stand behind the blue.

Heroes Compass partnered with Sandy's Donuts in Fargo, ND to distribute 400 blue lights and a limited edition Blue Line donut, showing support to our local law enforcement officers. Over $11,000 was raised to donate to the four officers families. We back the blue.
