About Gallant Heart

Gallant Heart is the product of the efforts of patriots who originally ran the Wounded Veteran Pheasant Hunt as a stand-alone 501c3 in 2017.  Through the incredible support of the local community, we were able to incorporate Gallant Heart in 2019. This has allowed us to provide more services to those who are willing to sacrifice it all for our country and our freedoms.  Gallant Heart is a Salem County, NJ-based 501c3 which operates with a voluntary staff of veterans and civilians with the common goal of providing experiences that will ultimately contribute to the overall quality of life for our American heroes. 

Our Programs

Wounded Veteran Pheasant Hunt

Gallant Heart’s annual flagship pheasant hunt for 3 days and 2 nights is hosted in Salem County, NJ. This event is facilitated in collaboration with New Jersey Fish and Wildlife, local Veteran organizations, and south jersey farms. Veterans arrive from across the country Friday evening and are greeted with local hospitality. Travel accommodations, meals, hunting licenses, gear, pheasants, firearms, and shells are provided as 24 veterans spend Saturday morning hunting together at a 12-station tower shoot. Saturday evening, hunters are brought back together to continue to relax and bond over a homemade meal, campfire, typical military banter from day’s events, and sharing of stories. This time allows the building of relationships with fellow veterans, Gallant Heart staff and volunteers with hopes of making new connections for the future.   Sunday, veterans leave with a sense of camaraderie, full bellies, and many stories with a new resource to call upon when needed.

WVPH Ambassador Program

Gallant Heart Hunter Mentor Program
