Help Us Keep the Mission Flying
Every year, South Willamette Valley Honor Flight gives our senior veterans a priceless gift — a free trip to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor. It’s a chance for them to be loved, remembered, and thanked for their service and sacrifice.
​
But here’s the reality — Honor Flights are expensive, and costs are rising fast.
Our guardians, support staff, and leadership all pay their own way, but sending 60 veterans to Washington, D.C. — twice a year — takes a lot of resources.
​
Let’s put it in perspective:
-
Airfare is up 20% compared to recent years.
-
Hotels are up 10%.
-
And that’s not including meals, buses, and all the other costs to ensure our veterans are cared for every step of the way.
Our veterans have already paid enough through their service — we never ask them to pay a dime.
And our organization? We’re 100% volunteer-run. No salaries. No overhead. Just a community of people devoted to saying thank you the best way we know how.
​
But to keep that mission alive, we need your help.
Every dollar donated goes directly toward getting another hero on that plane.
​
Your donation keeps the promise alive — that we will never forget, and that we will always honor those who served.
​
Please consider giving today — and help us keep these flights, and their stories, soaring.
