The Joshua Chamberlain Society is unlike any other veteran's organization. We're a 501(c)3 federally tax-exempt charity and our mission is to make wounded veterans and families of deceased veterans feel the support and appreciation of their community for life. 

With the help of generous donors, JCS "adopts" severely wounded veterans - those who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, lost a limb or multiple limbs, or both - as well as the families of those service members who sacrificed their lives in service to our country. JCS provides real, tangible support for these individuals and families not only in the present, but also five, ten, twenty or more years down the line. Years from now, they will still feel the support of a community grateful for their sacrifices.

Their sacrifice is permanent - so is our support.
