Military Family Support

Give Thanks: Support Our Military Family

“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive … to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan.”

 
President Abraham Lincoln
Second Inaugural Address
March 4, 1865

 

When soldiers are deployed overseas, families are left behind and often face financial and emotional hardship. With thousands of charities devoted to supporting our military family, it’s not easy to know which ones are the most worthy of your support.

This guide lists our top charities for supporting military families and troops who will spend this holiday season away from their loved ones. Use it to connect with the families and service members who have sacrificed so much for America by sending letters and supplies, volunteering, helping heal wounded soldiers, or giving much-needed donations. 

Make the United States the country you want it to be: a place where citizens support our military family and honor their principles through even the most challenging of times.This guide is divided into sections that provide information on (i) how you can support the families whose loved ones are currently serving, (ii) how to support the troops overseas and those who have returned home, and (iii) Web sites that military families can visit to seek help.
