Big Day of Giving! How 2 Love Our Cops
May 1, 2025

Originating from Victoria Newman’s personal journey, it has grown to represent hope, support, and a guiding hand for law enforcement families navigating their unique life paths. The organization’s dedication to its mission suggests a promising future filled with growth, outreach, and unwavering support.
The value of the work H2LOC does every day through dozens of volunteers has short term and long-term impact on families across the nation. Marriages have been improved. Marriages have been saved. Relationships with children have been rethought and connection ignited. The impact of these three results alone reverberates through each family, the community, and extends into generations.
