After nearly 20 years of service, Everyday Heroes shut down its free shuttle service to and from the Houston Veterans Affairs hospital. Established to help Wharton County’s veterans get to and from doctors appointments, the organization noted a diminishing need. Everyday Heroes transported more than 13,000 Wharton County veterans to medical appointments in its history, at no charge, five days a week from locations in El Campo and
Wharton. The organization also provided electric wheelchairs to veterans and money to help retrofit homes to make them wheelchair accessible.
