Soldiers' Angels Luncheons: Making a Meaningful Impact for Veterans
Soldiers' Angels volunteers Nationwide organize luncheons and dinners for Veterans, held at various locations such as VA Hospitals, domiciliary facilities, homeless shelters, or community centers accessible to Veterans of all generations.
Though it may seem like a simple act, the impact of providing a warm meal and heartfelt smiles to these individuals who have served our country can be profound. Watch the video above to see the joy on the faces of Veterans at the Lake Nona Domiciliary in Orlando as they enjoy a complimentary lunch served by Soldiers' Angels and sponsored by Chick-Fil-A.
If you're interested in volunteering at events like this and making an impact on Veterans in your area, register to be an Angel volunteer today and find opportunities near you!
"A little small thing like this is something great for the Vets that can't provide for themselves yet, just to say thank you--something small like this is huge for all of us." - Attending Veteran

Vietnam War Veterans Day 2024
On March 29, Soldiers' Angels volunteers across the country supported celebrations honoring our Nation's Vietnam Veterans on Vietnam War Veterans Day.
Volunteers Needed for Baby Shower Support!
Soldiers' Angels offers more than just virtual baby showers; we also support in-person baby shower events at the VA. Handmade items like blankets and booties add a special touch to these occasions, formerly crafted by our Sewing and Crafting Team. Now, with our new structure, all Angel volunteers can join in! Whether you sew, knit, or crochet, your help is invaluable in creating one-of-a-kind baby items. Register to volunteer today to learn more or log in to explore these opportunities if you're already an Angel!
TWO Great Campaigns that Support Service Members and Veterans!
Normally, we try not to have our campaigns overlap... but we extended Warm Feet for Warriors since we had a long way to go towards our goal! So that means for the month of April you have TWO great campaigns to choose from!
Go Camo Care Package Collection
Support Soldiers’ Angels in gathering the most sought-after care package items, ensuring that love and support continue to reach our deployed Service Members. Whether you host a collection drive, shop, or donate, every contribution makes a meaningful difference.
Warm Feet for Warriors Extended!
We've made progress, but we still have a ways to go. With your support, we're confident we can achieve our goal of collecting 75,000 pairs of socks by the end of April! Whether you shop or start a collection drive, let's keep our troops' toes feeling toasty together!
Love Craft Beer? Help Recruit Breweries!
Soldiers' Angels Hops for Heroes is now open for registration, and we're thrilled to announce a fantastic lineup of breweries ready to brew their support for our Service Members and Veterans. But we're eager to expand even further and could use your help in spreading the word and recruiting more breweries!
Here's how you can lend a hand:
- Reach out to a brewery and fill them in on Hops for Heroes! Direct them to the Hops for Heroes section of our website. They can read all the details and register. New this year, homebrewers can participate in the campaign! Be sure to share with any homebrewers you know too!
- Share the details with our Hops for Heroes team. After you reach out to one (or ten!) breweries, contact Leah and let her know the names of the breweries you reached out to and the person you spoke with. You can email her here or call the office and ask to speak to her: (210)629-0020
- Earn rewards for your help! As a thank you for your help, staff and volunteers who successfully recruit a brewery will receive a $100 Visa gift card after that brewery officially registers and is approved to participate!
If you have any questions or need suggestions on how to approach your favorite brewery, feel free to reach out to Leah!
