How You Can Help
Collecting candy. Knitting hats. “Adopting” a military member. Donating funds.
These are just a few ways that volunteers make a difference to our troops. Adopting a soldier to encourage and support is as simple as filling out a form on our website. Once you receive a name, you are able to ship monthly care packages to a member of our armed forces.
One-time projects do a lot of good in a little time. Whether you host a volleyball tournament that generates postage money or drive Girl Scout cookies to our Florida headquarters, every second and every cent reach our heroes.
Join us today in honoring their sacrifice.
Here are some way you can get involved:

Three Star Supporter:
