Founded in 2010, Sheep Dog Impact Assistance is a non-profit organization that assists and serves the needs of men and women in the U.S. military, law enforcement, Fire & EMS. Their National Office is located in Rogers, Arkansas and there are 17 chapters and teams in the U.S. and one in Canada. They have more than 4,000 members, volunteers and supporters nationwide.
Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) is made up of military and first responders – society’s protectors, our “Sheep Dogs” – and volunteers. We exist to engage, assist and empower our Membership and fellow Sheep Dogs with continued service opportunities and provide the camaraderie that may be missing after a shift or tour of duty ends.
From Sheepdogia.org:
SDIA offers our Sheep Dog Members and like-minded Volunteers opportunities to satisfy their innate desire to serve and help those around them. We provide “impact assistance” to communities through Disaster Response Missions, and by helping fellow Sheep Dogs through Continued Service Opportunities and Outdoor Adventures. Participants in these programs often feel a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment through helping others.
