Supporting Veterans & Families Through Community and Causes.

HGSF founders Josh Duren and Marine veteran Jason Duren stand beside each other against a purple wall.

Founded by brothers Jason and Josh Duren, the Honor Great Sacrifice Foundation is a non-profit organization that works in tandem with the Cider Corps craft cidery to shine a light on veteran issues and bring people of all backgrounds together for understanding and support.

Many Ways To Honor The Sacrifice

  • Close up of an Honor Tile engraved with the name of a veteran.

    Honor Tiles

    Engraved with your name or the name of a loved one, Honor Tiles line the taproom wall in Cider Corps creating a visual symbol of support of veterans in times of service and beyond.

  • A Bingo board displays a greeting for Bingo Nights.

    Once a month we partner with a local non-profit for our Bingo Night. The purchase of $5 bingo cards goes directly to the organization.

  • A combat helmet has been turned into lighting at the Cider Corps taproom.

    Work With Us

    We welcome opportunities for partnerships and learning about local organizations and resources.

“This foundation is something we’ve wanted to establish from the early days of Cider Corps. Making cider helped turn the challenges of recovery and returning from service into something positive. Now through the HGSF, we can do the same for other service men and women.”
