Military heroes are serving in cold, isolated locations instead of spending the holidays with their families. Many service members wouldn’t be able to take part in the joy of holiday traditions like a festive Christmas meal without the support of you and the USO.

But we fell short of our goal to fund 3,000 holiday meals before Christmas. That’s why we're asking for your help right now. You can DOUBLE* the value of your gift to help provide our heroes in uniform with warm meals and other critical support before 2024 ends!**

Our generous friends at Airbus are MATCHING all gifts to the USO until midnight tonight to help provide essential programs and support — including holiday meals — for our service members.

Will you donate $37.50 or more now and DOUBLE your impact towards holiday meals and other support for service members before midnight?

Thank you for standing with our service members during this difficult time of year. Your support helps ensure they feel the warmth and care of home, no matter where they serve.

Time is running out to MATCH* your
gift and help provide holiday meals
to deployed service members**

The holidays can be one of the most difficult times of year for deployed service members. We fell short of our critical goal to fund 3,000 holiday meals and other programs for our military heroes, but our generous partners at Airbus are now matching all gifts, up to a total of $25,000, until midnight to give us one more chance to reach our goal.

That means you still have one more chance to DOUBLE the value of your holiday gift for service members: Will you make a tax-deductible donation now that will be MATCHED to provide active-duty service members with warm holiday meals and connections to home?

Right now, instead of spending time with their families, our service members are deployed all over the world making immense sacrifices to serve our country.

The least we can do is give them the opportunity to sit down for a warm, hearty meal after another long day away from their loved ones. No matter how far their service takes them, it’s up to us to find a way to deliver a taste of home.

“I couldn’t be home … so you brought home to me,” a service member shared after a holiday meal in Japan. “Thank you for everything you do, USO.”

Please: Can we count on you to rush a Christmas gift to support our brave military heroes this holiday season? If you make a tax-deductible donation of $37.50 or more before midnight tonight, it will be DOUBLED by Airbus to help fund even more holiday support for our service members.

Thank you for supporting those who sacrifice so much to serve us and our country.
