Hostage US is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that provides support and professional services to hostage families and returning hostages during and after a kidnapping. Hostage US delivers all support and services free of charge and independent of outside interests. Our three- part mission is; to ensure hostage families and returning hostages receive the necessary support; to improve the support provided to hostage families and returning hostages by other relevant organizations; and to improve public policy relating to support for hostage families and returning hostages through public information, advocacy, and research.
