A foxhole is a place
you don’t hold alone.

A private community for those who served. Built for the weeks and months you spend on a VA waitlist, the nights between appointments, and the hard parts of coming home that no intake form covers.

The fight off-base

When the uniform comes off, the war doesn’t.

Roughly 35,000 veterans sleep unsheltered or in shelters on any given night in the U.S. Substance use, untreated PTSD, and months-long care waits are the through-line. Foxhole exists to put a hand on the shoulder before someone hits the curb.

From the community
“I went eight years thinking nobody got it. First week here, somebody from my unit’s era answered at 0200. That is the foxhole. Somebody is always awake on watch.”
