HirePatriots.com: Saving heroes through the power of community-wide partnerships

HirePatriots began as a response to a Marine who returned from Iraq to discover his wife and two small children living without utilities, due to his wife being laid off while he was deployed. He knocked on the founders’ door and asked: "Sir, Ma’am, I need to earn some money right away to get the electric and gas turned on in my home for my family. Do you have any work that I can do for you right now around your home or yard?"
 
And so in 2004 a free job board for residents and businesses was launched across America so that they could hire their local military, veterans and their spouses, either for One Day, Part time or Full Time: www.HirePatriots.com.

HirePatriots’ One Day jobs are the only employment safety net that our military and recently transitioned veterans have. Tens of thousands of US residents every year pitch in and help out by posting their chores and repairs when they need help.  In fact, so many residents embrace this program that HirePatriots received the “Visionary Award for Creating Economic Development.”

So pitch in today and Help Save a Hero. –Post your job(s) and hire a local US military, veteran or spouse today. Say thank you in a way that makes a difference. – Be a Hero: Save a Hero! – HirePatriots.com!
