FOG serves veterans, active duty military, first responders, and medical personnel through peer-led programs built on real connection — not red tape. Here’s what we do and where we’re headed.
Community & Belonging
Discord Community
762+ member server with verified roles, moderated channels, and 24/7 peer presence.
The Smoke Pit
Open voice channels for real talk — no agenda, no hierarchy. The digital version of the military smoke pit.
Gaming Nights
Regular events on Twitch and Discord — a non-stigmatized entry point for veterans not ready for traditional support.
Community Ambassador Program
Trained volunteer peer leaders from within FOG, certified in QPR, ASIST, and Mental Health First Aid.
In-Person Events & Local Chapters
Physical presence in Nevada, Texas, and Oklahoma — at VFWs, military installations, and fire stations.
Mental Health & Crisis Support
Crisis Response
Active welfare checks and warm referrals to 988, the VA Crisis Line, and emergency services for members in distress.

Outreach & Awareness
Social Media Outreach
Active veteran recruitment across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, and Facebook — targeting NV, TX, and OK.
