Our Journey

Fayetteville / Fort Bragg, NC – Our First Site
Rick’s Place, a 50-acre private greenspace, opened to serve active duty military members and veterans. Rooted in RHF’s core values, it offers a safe, welcoming space to build community, strengthen relationships, and enjoy quality time together.
Killeen / Fort Hood, TX – Our Next Chapter
At the invitation of Fort Hood leadership, RHF is expanding to Central Texas — home to the second-largest military population in the U.S. With a phased site buildout underway, we’re honored to extend the RHF experience to serve even more military members and their loved ones.
In 2024 a significant anonymous donation allowed RHF to begin a national expansion.
