Soldiers' Angels: Continuing to Serve Through COVID-19 Soldiers’ Angels staff is working tirelessly amid the COVID-19 pandemic to provide aid and comfort to deployed service members, their families, and veterans in need. We strongly believe that it is our responsibility to ensure that No Soldier Goes Unloved, No Soldier Walks Alone, No Soldier is Forgotten, Until They All Come Home. Below are some of the ways that we are assisting our brave men and women in uniform and those who have fought so gallantly for our freedom in the past. Many of these services are geographic-specific depending on the needs of the VA Hospitals and communities that we support.
As additional needs arise, we will be ready to serve based on our resources. For the latest updates on our COVID response programs, visit our website at: Supporting COVID First RespondersSoldiers’ Angels has been providing support to combat deployed service members for the last seventeen years—much of that support in the form of care packages stuffed with snacks, hygiene items, candy, books, etc. Now, amid the #coronavirus pandemic, we are also supporting those who have been deployed a little closer to home— units who have been deployed to support COVID operations across the country. Soldiers’ Angels was honored to provide support to the 4th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) out of Fort Sam Houston. This unit was recently tasked with providing all sustainment and life support logistics to erect a field hospital in Seattle, Washington. They handled all behind-the-scenes logistics that would go into implementing a field hospital--- from arranging food and hotels for the medical staff to transporting medical equipment and erecting the hospital. Located in San Antonio, the unit was able to pick up a truckload of snacks, drinks, and hygiene items directly from the Soldiers’ Angels office! Thank you so much to the 4th ESC and all units tasked with such an important job amid the pandemic. We appreciate you and thank you for all you are doing in service to this country during this crisis. Our deployed service members are on the front lines of the war with this virus and many of our veterans are among those in the most vulnerable population. Let's come together and pay it forward to these incredible individuals. We've put together some great virtual volunteer opportunities that can all be done from the comfort of your home with minimal supplies and/or supplies most of you already have at home. And if you don't, we've included links to products on Amazon that will help you get started.
