This office is the bones of the organization and also where founder, Shane Hudella, works out of. In their office building they have a warehouse that contains all of their current sports equipment on hand. This is where the military families are invited to come in, grab a bag, and fill it with the sports equipment they desire. The equipment is donated by big brand companies and professional athletes, however anyone can donate equipment.
