You Can Help our Troops - Donate!
USO United Service Organizations
For over 67 years, the USO (United Service Organizations) has served as the primary bridge between the American people and America’s Armed Forces, delivering a unique combination of morale building, counseling, and recreational services to our troops and their families all over the world.
The USO is chartered by Congress as a nonprofit, charitable corporation. However, the USO is not part of the U.S. government. Instead, it is funded almost entirely by donations from individuals, organizations, and corporations. A full 89¢ out of every $1.00 donated to the USO is spent on the delivery of programs and services to our troops.
Wounded Warrior Project
The mission of the Wounded Warrior Project is to honor and empower wounded warriors. To raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women. To help severely injured service members aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of severely injured service members.
Armed Forces Veterans Homes Foundation
The Foundation is a national non governmental organization that solicits, receives, manages and disburses financial resources by means of grants and awards to agencies nation wide that serve the needs of elderly and infirm veterans of America's armed forces.
The demand for quality long term veteran care is growing at an astounding rate. Our nation faces the largest aging veteran population in its history. Today, roughly 10 million veterans are aged 65 and over, about 39 percent of all the veterans in America. This proportion will remain unchanged for the next 20 years. The number of veterans aged 85 and over will have increased by 600 percent from 1990 to 2010 and will total nearly two million in all.
Operation Homefront
Operation Homefront provides emergency and morale assistance for our troops, the families they leave behind and for wounded warriors when they return home. A nonprofit 501(c)(3), Operation Homefront leads more than 4,500 volunteers in 30 chapters nationwide and has met more than 105,000 needs of military families. Operation Homefront also hosts the Web community Operation Homefront Online.
The Fisher House
The Fisher House™ program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.
Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House™ Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.
VFW Operation Uplink
The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, with its Auxiliaries, includes 2.2 million members in approximately 8,100 Posts worldwide. Its mission is to "honor the dead by helping the living" through veterans' service, community service, national security and a strong national defense.
Operation Uplink: VFW provides monthly “Free Call Days” to troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait, as well as free phone cards to hospitalized veterans and troops recovering from injuries. New fathers, anxious parents and worried spouses are so grateful for the chance to talk to their loved ones!
