Since its inception in 2011, OHF has served thousands of America’s SOF warriors and family members with every dollar donated go toward funding its programs to support our nation’s heroes and their families. This unique ability to ensure donor funds are fully utilized towards supporting SOF families is due to the commitment of OHF’s founder, Gary Markel, and the board of directors to personally cover the overhead and administrative expenses of the organization.

In 2021, OHF hosted 50 couples retreats, 4 caregivers retreats and completed 489 requests with a total of nearly $700k of immediate needs support.
Our programs have saved marriages and increased resiliency and health among participants. OHF is one of the very few programs that honor not only the service members but their life partners as well.
