The Freedom Isn't Free Ride Foundation provides emotional, physical and psychological support for veterans searching for housing.

Sabine and Russell Edgett of the foundation used to live in a vehicle. Now they're using it to give back.

The foundation provides donated supplies to homeless veterans.

The two say they plan to provide 50 bags to 50 different homeless vets who've slipped through the cracks.
The organization has had to cancel many fundraising activities due to COVID-19 and their gala and annual charity motorcycle event remain up in the air.

Russell Edgett has been planning an over 300-mile walk from Connecticut to Washington, D.C. to raise more awareness on the issue.
