Freedom Lodge Outdoors was started in 2023. The idea was a result of hours spent in the “Blind” with friends chasing Waterfowl. These moments always left lasting memories of Comradery, personal enrichment and a unique sense of community. We adopted a mission statement of “Helping Veterans Heal and Prosper” Freedom Lodge Outdoors’ main place of operation is in the Rice farming and Waterfowl stronghold of Delaplaine, Ar. In September of 2023 we purchased a house and began renovations to create a lodge atmosphere where we’ll run hunts during the Waterfowl season. Additionally, our local farmers / partners have given us access to prime agricultural fields for hunting.
In keeping with our mission to help heal, Freedom Lodge will provide an “all inclusive” hunt camp experience that will be coupled with nightly “Fireside Chats” to check in with the Veterans sharing the lodge each week. All inclusive means just that, FREE hunting, lodging and food. We are not guides, not paid for our services. We raise support throughout the
year to fund FLO. This is by Veterans for Veterans.
Freedom Lodge Outdoors’ Team, resides in various places throughout the United States. The Team will continue to operate their local hunts, for Veterans, as part of the Freedom Lodge Outdoors banner.
Freedom Lodge Outdoors is a 501C3 ‘’non-profit”. Additionally, we have partnered with a local non-profit, the Lucky Fallis Foundation, and also conduct the Dylan Kennedy Memorial Hunt in Antioch, Il. Both young men left us too soon so we strive to raise awareness of Veteran Suicide.
The Purple Heart Hunting Program is more than just a hunting program. It was started as a moose mitigation program on the Ft. Greely Army Base in Alaska and has since grown into a top-notch nonprofit organization that benefits 100% disabled Purple Heart veterans. By providing these veterans with the opportunity to hunt, the program helps them heal and find camaraderie while also contributing to conservation efforts.
