But for troops deployed in some of the world’s most dangerous places to protect our freedom, it’ll just be another Thursday. Another day in a lonely barracks, thousands of miles away from their loved ones. Another day of the same old mess hall food. Another day of hoping they’ll be able to find a secure internet connection to call home before their kids go to bed. It’s up to us to brighten this day for them.
As the country gets ready to celebrate, the USO is determined to uplift our troops on this important day by providing at least 2,500 Thanksgiving meals at military bases and USO Centers across the world.**
And we’re so glad to share that the NFL is matching all gifts, but we’re counting on YOU to help us reach this ambitious goal by midnight Saturday.
| GIVE $37.50 TO HELP PROVIDE ONE THANKSGIVING MEAL** |
| GIVE $75 TO HELP PROVIDE TWO THANKSGIVING MEALS** |
| GIVE $150 TO HELP PROVIDE FOUR THANKSGIVING MEALS** |
| GIVE ANY AMOUNT FOR THANKSGIVING MEALS |
Spending Thanksgiving far away from their loved ones is just one of many, many sacrifices our troops make throughout the year in service of our country, asking nothing of us in return. We may not be able to bring them home or fully understand the challenges they go through — but we can make sure they enjoy a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal.
| MATCH MY GIFT |
Thank you for supporting our country’s heroes in uniform when it matters most.
