What Makes Honor Flight Chicago Run?

The military could not run without people helping everywhere – from the front lines to the mess halls to recruiting back home – and neither could Honor Flight Chicago.

There are a lot of pieces that come together to make Honor Flight Chicago successful in honoring our World War II veterans by enabling them to visit their memorial in Washington, D.C. Without each of these pieces, we could not make it work.

One of the major factors in making everything work are the great volunteers who step up to do everything from A to Z. Honor Flight Chicago has zero paid employees, which enables us to use our funds to send more veterans to Washington, rather than paying salaries. We are fortunate to have a very dedicated, adaptable corps of volunteers who are willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

We have a variety of committees dedicated to the various components necessary to make things work: Communications, Veterans Outreach, Fundraising, Administration, and Logistics. Check back in the coming weeks as we profile each of these committees on the blog — you never know what you might want to be a part of!

If you are interested in joining the ranks of the Honor Flight Chicago volunteers, please complete the Volunteer Application. We need people with all skills. Not only do we appreciate your help — it is very much appreciated by our veterans! Without the volunteers, Honor Flight Chicago could not be possible.
