LIFELONG SUPPORT

Supporting Fallen and Wounded Heroes 

At the Joshua Chamberlain Society, we are dedicated to providing lifelong support to the Heroes who have given so much for our freedom—severely wounded veterans and the families of fallen service members.

OUR MISSION

Their Sacrifice Endures and Our Support Never Wavers

The Joshua Chamberlain Society is on a mission to provide life-changing, lifelong support to veterans who’ve sustained permanent combat injuries and families of service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. From tuition assistance to home renovations, your contributions directly transform lives. Currently supporting 35 Heroes or family of fallen Heroes, we’re committed to doing more—but we can’t do it without you.

HOW WE HELP

Making a Local Impact

Founded in St. Louis, Missouri, JCS is a grassroots 501(c)(3) federally tax-exempt charity. When service members are severely wounded in combat, their lives are forever changed. And for families of the fallen, the road ahead can feel uncertain. With the help of generous donors and community events, we ensure that these Heroes and their families receive the care and stability they need to rebuild their futures.

Each event is an opportunity to celebrate the resilience and sacrifices of our veterans and the families of the fallen, while ensuring they receive the long-term support they deserve.
