Coming Soon: BBRT Donation Center & Thrift Shop – Martinsburg, WV

We are excited to announce that the Battle Buddy Response Team® is opening a Donation Center & Thrift Shop right here in Martinsburg, WV! This new location will serve as a central hub to help veterans, families, and our local community.

How You Can Help Right Now

We are not quite ready to share the address just yet – but we’d love for you to start setting aside any donations you’d like to bring once we open our doors!

We are looking for:

• Items for Our Homeless Drive – tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, bottled water, clothes, shoes, warm coats
• Household Goods & General Donations – gently used or new items to sell in the thrift shop to help fund BBRT
• Community Support Items – nonperishable food, hygiene kits, and supplies for local families in need
• Special Equipment & Larger Needs
  • Pallet jack (we have a loading dock)
  • Fridge and freezer (for hosting dinners)
  • Box truck or enclosed trailer (for donation pickups)
  • Pool table or basketball hoop (for team and guest recreation)
• Vehicles or Travel Trailers – to be donated directly to veterans

Our Mission for This Location

This center is designed to be much more than a thrift store. It will be a place where:

• Veterans and families can come pick up essential items.
• We can host our annual Thanksgiving and Christmas Homeless Drives.
• Supplies will be staged for natural disaster response efforts nationwide.
• Guests can gather, share a meal, and build community.

This new hub is projected to help BBRT maintain stability, expand outreach, and provide more consistent support where it’s needed most.

Get Involved

If you would like to contribute, sponsor, or support this new program, please email us at info@battlebuddyresponseteam.org.

We can’t wait to welcome you into this new chapter for BBRT!

Together, we can create a space that truly serves veterans, their families, and our entire community.

📣 Effective Immediately: BBRT TikTok Account Deleted

Effective immediately, the Battle Buddy Response Team® no longer has an official TikTok account. The account has been permanently deleted.

We want to thank every supporter who followed and encouraged our mission on that platform. Your support has meant the world.

We also want to acknowledge that Mr. Rock has, at times, acted out of anger. He has since sought help and is committed to personal growth and healing. As an organization, we are learning, growing, and taking accountability for all actions associated with our leadership.

We sincerely ask for your forgiveness and understanding. Our mission remains the same—serving veterans and their families with compassion, integrity, and urgency. We are dedicated to doing better and moving forward stronger.

Thank you for continuing to stand with us.
