THE NEED

To find your place is to find peace and fulfillment in a community that supports every aspect of your well-being.

More than a physical structure or specific coordinates, finding your place means finally feeling like you belong. Regardless of whether you’re active duty, retired, or a military-family member, we welcome you to heal, grow, and become the best version of yourself here at Clear Path.

The greatest challenges are the ones you can’t see.

Resilience comes with a wagging tail.

There’s a special kind of comfort and healing that comes from the companionship, devotion, and love of a service dog.

Where there’s food, there’s friendship.

Whether you’re cooking the meal or enjoying it, there’s so much to savor when you’re gathered around the table.

testimonials

Our veterans say it best.

For me personally, I really did find that sense of community that has been missing for the last decade of my life.

Brian
US Army | 1996–2003

I have a safe place to come to. I can talk to people here without any judgment.

John
US Marine Corps | 1976–1978

To walk through the doors at any Clear Path location, a veteran crosses almost a physical boundary where they’ve entered their community.

Lars
US Army | 2004–2010

This is the new mission.

Norm
US Air Force | 1968–1972

Clear Path is the best place on earth for veterans to gather with each other and their families. There is so much love and concern for each other. We will definitely return to this beautiful place.

BONNIE
Spouse of a veteran

Clear Path sucks the hate right out of you.
