Dear Friends and Associates,
Just a note to let you know that we are still here to help fallen service members families with financial hardships, college scholarships as well as severely wounded veterans affected by the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, however, we are slow in receiving applications and ask that you share our website with those that may have a need. Since 2005 our Grant Committee has approved a total of $133,542 in awards & scholarships and we are certain there are many more families in need of help.
Also, we have many members of the public that would like to help our troops by mailing items overseas, visiting them in hospitals and providing items during their medical stay and/or rehabilitation. If you know and can share information with us so that we can have items specific to a service members needs, unit, etc., please feel free to contact us.
Many of our inquiries come before the holidays and last year we managed to put together our "Adopt A Family" program where we matched surviving service member families with sponsoring families, classrooms, etc., it took several weeks of full-time effort to handle the incoming requests from sponsoring families and the matching, Xmas lists, etc., but time willing and with the help of volunteers we would like to do it again this holiday.
For updates on our progress, events that our wonderful supporters are planning and further information, please visit our website.
Thank you for your time and God Bless!
