About us
Veteran-led, community-funded, built to serve
Since 2009, we have helped more than 18,000 veterans and families find benefits, homes, careers, and care in the Sacramento region.
Our mission
No veteran should have to fight the system alone
Freedom Ridge Veterans Resource Center helps veterans, service members, and military families navigate benefits, secure stable housing, build careers, and access mental health care. One team, every step, no wrong door.
Freedom Ridge began in a single donated office with two volunteer service officers and a simple promise: if a veteran walks through the door, we help. Today our team of navigators, clinicians, and peer specialists carries that same promise across four connected programs so no one falls through the cracks between them.
We are an independent nonprofit, funded by grants and neighbors who believe those who served deserve a community that shows up for them in return.
What guides us
Our values
No wrong door
However you reach us, we help. If it is not our program, we will walk you to the one that fits.
Veteran-led
Most of our team has worn the uniform. We lead with lived experience and mutual respect.
Confidential
Your story stays private. We protect your trust as carefully as your information.
Whole-person care
Benefits, housing, work, and health are connected. We treat the whole person, not one form.
