Our Local Leadership

Towns4Troops-NE is a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in New York state and is a sister organization to Towns4Troops based in South Carolina. The group was created by friends, families and community supporters based in New York and is run completely by volunteers. The sole purpose is to enhance the lives of our brave active duty men and women who so gallantly serve our country.

We create social events, connect local community resources and enhance base activities and deployments.

Our scope is not limited to just active duty, but also include Reservists, National Guard and Gold Star families and our Veterans. Our goal is to provide boots on the ground support for events such as; BBQ’s, sporting events, concerts, theater performances and outdoor recreational opportunities both on and off base.

Lasting Impact

Towns4Troops is a dedicated nonprofit organization born from the spirit and community connection of our annual First Responder Iron Chef-Style BBQ Competition. What began as a single event has grown into a mission-driven effort to support and uplift the social and emotional well-being of our local military members and their families.

Through engaging events, community outreach, and year-round initiatives, we strive to create meaningful opportunities for connection, appreciation, and support for those who serve, and the loved ones who stand beside them.
