Looking at the problem of Veteran and Soldier Suicide can feel a lot like staring at a scrambled Rubik’s Cube. It’s incredibly complex, overwhelming, and it can leave you feeling like you don’t even know where to start to make the pieces align. It's easy to think, "I'm just one person. How can I possibly solve this?"


But look closer at this cube. Every single square represents a small, intentional action. A community coming together. A plant being swapped. A seed being planted. And most importantly, a letter being written.


We might not be able to solve the entire puzzle with one single move, but we can focus on one square at a time.


📝 One Letter. One Soldier. One Life.


When you sit down at the OEH Letter Station during the 1st Annual FTE Farmstead Plant Swap, you aren't just putting pen to paper. You are sending a tangible piece of home overseas.


  •  You are a reminder: That someone back home is rooting for them.

  • You are a connection: Bringing the warmth of our community to a distant field base.

  • You are hope: Reminding them that their sacrifices are seen, and that they are deeply cared for.


Combined with a sweet taste of home—like a candy bar—your words can be the exact turning point a Soldier needs on a tough day. It lets them know they are not alone.


🌱 Join the Mission


You don't have to have all the answers to make a massive impact. Let’s work together to connect our community here at home with our heroes serving overseas, one seedling and one letter at a time.


đź“… When: May 31st at 11:00 AM

📍 Where: 29908 108th St NW, Princeton

đź’š Hosted by: Operation Empowering Hope & FTE Farmstead


Come out for the plant swap, support the vendor booths, bring the kids for activities, and take a moment to write a letter. Let's start shifting the pieces together.
