The Mighty Oaks Foundation: Saving Lives, Restoring Families and Changing Legacies with Jeremy Stalnecker (Part 1)

Untold Valor: Veterans Recovery in Action

We are very excited to be sitting down with Jeremy Stalnecker, co-founder and executive director of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, over the next two episodes. After returning from Iraq as a USMC Infantry Officer, Jeremy, like many veterans, faced challenges when transitioning to civilian life. It wasn't until a fellow Marine introduced him to Chad Robichaux and the Mighty Oaks Foundation that Jeremy found a new purpose.

The Mighty Oaks Foundation, a faith-based organization, is dedicated to helping veterans and their families recover from PTSD and other traumas. The foundation offers a range of programs, including those for men, women, and marriages, all designed to provide support and healing. Tune in to learn more about the transformative work taking place within this program and to hear Jeremy’s inspiring message of hope and recovery.
