Resolve to Give Back in 2024
It's a New Year! Why not add "give back to our heroes" to your list of resolutions?
Did you know that Soldiers' Angels originated as a grassroots movement? Indeed, it all began two decades ago when a Military mom, concerned about her son's unit lacking essential supplies during their deployment to Iraq, took the initiative. She rallied her community, sparking a wildfire of support that inspired hundreds of thousands of Americans solely through word of mouth.
Throughout the years, we've evolved, expanded, and sustained the legacy of that mom's vision, impacting the lives of millions of Service Members, Veterans, and their families.
Despite our growth, we remain at our core a grassroots organization, relying on our community to propel us forward and enable us to continue aiding millions more.
This year, resolve to not only get involved but perhaps to deepen your involvement! With numerous incredible opportunities available, there's something for everyone.
Keep reading to explore the top 10 ways to engage (or further engage) today!
