Support the Mission.

Your Gift Changes Lives—One Veteran, One Program, One Community at a Time.

At the ECHO Group Band of Brothers, our mission is bold—but it's only possible with the support of people like you. Every dollar donated goes directly toward programs that serve Veterans, active-duty military, and their families through connection, purpose, and healing.

​

From a game of softball that prevents isolation… to a safe night’s rest at Camp Flores… to rolling through the desert with fellow Vets on a mission to rediscover joy—your support fuels every moment of progress.

​

With chapters in Arizona, California, and even in the metaverse through Second Life, we offer more than just events—we offer lifelines. And you can be part of that impact.

​

By donating today, you're helping us:

​

  • Prevent Veteran suicide through active outreach and sports programs

  • Fund life-changing support that promote wellness, recreation, and belonging

  • Provide emergency shelter and crisis resources to Veterans in need

  • Empower Veterans to lead, volunteer, and give back to their communities

  • Keep vital programs running in Arizona, California, virtually, and beyond

​

No matter the size of your donation, 100% of your support stays mission-focused—and stays within the community it serves.

Camp Flores 
Santa Maria, CA

A Safe Haven for Veterans on the Central Coast -

​

Nestled in the heart of Santa Maria, California, Camp Flores serves as a vital sanctuary for Veterans in need of emergency support, housing, and healing.

​Operated in partnership with the ECHO Group Band of Brothers, this transitional living facility provides short- and long-term shelter for Veterans experiencing homelessness, crisis recovery, or reintegration challenges.

​

More than just a place to stay, Camp Flores is a place to rebuild, reconnect, and rise again.

​

What Camp Flores Offers:

​

  • Emergency and transitional housing for Veterans facing homelessness or unstable living situations

  • Mental health support services and referrals, including trauma-informed care and PTSD resources

  • Access to daily meals, hygiene essentials, and basic needs support

  • Connection to peer mentoring, job placement programs, and ongoing case management

  • A secure, structured environment where Veterans can reset their course and regain independence

  • ​

Located near key medical, behavioral health, and Veteran services on California’s Central Coast, Camp Flores is designed to remove the barriers Veterans face when seeking help. It’s a crucial part of our mission to end Veteran homelessness and ensure no brother or sister is left behind.

​

A Bridge to Long-Term Success

​

At Camp Flores, each resident is supported by a dedicated case team that helps them set goals, access resources, and build a long-term plan for stability. Veterans often arrive with only what they can carry—and leave with housing, employment, new skills, and a renewed sense of hope.

This site also serves as a crisis recovery point for local Quick Reaction Force (QRF) interventions when Veterans need immediate placement.

​

Proudly Serving the Community

​

Camp Flores is not just a shelter—it’s a reflection of what’s possible when a community rallies around its heroes. With support from local nonprofits, service providers, and volunteers, the camp continues to transform lives across Santa Maria, Santa Ynez Valley, and beyond.
