The Rick Herrema Foundation is a small nonprofit based in Fayetteville, North Carolina, that supports military families and the communities that serve them. It aims to strengthen relationships and facilitate reintegration during deployment cycles by offering engaging activities and spaces for family time. Its signature initiative, Rick's Place, is a 50-acre greenspace located about 5.5 miles from Fort Bragg, open from dawn to dusk and free for military families and those who support them. Positioned within the nonprofit sector serving military communities, RHF plans to expand its model to additional bases as retreat centers to assist families through deployment cycles. A recent development involved partnering with American Veterans Mission to host the 2025 Summer Fun Fest at Fort Hood, Texas, illustrating cross-organizational collaboration to serve service members and their families.
