They’re Serving Far from Home—Will You Be Their Angel?

Right now, over 440 deployed Service Members are waiting to be adopted through Soldiers’ Angels, hoping for a connection to home. They serve in locations around the world, far from family and friends, often enduring long days, lonely nights, and the weight of duty on their shoulders.

For many, a simple letter, a care package, or a small reminder that someone is thinking of them can mean everything. It’s not just about the snacks or supplies—it’s about knowing they’re not forgotten.

But the need is urgent. So many of these heroes are still waiting. They don’t ask for much—just the reassurance that someone cares.

Will you step up today and be their Angel?

Signing up is easy, and your support can make a world of difference to a Service Member missing home. Join us now and bring comfort, encouragement, and connection to those who serve.

👉 Register today to adopt a hero in need! Because no hero should ever feel alone.

Wondering if Your Support Truly Makes a Difference?

Not sure if your letters or care packages will have an impact? Hesitant to join because you might not hear back from those you support?

We completely understand. But even if you never receive a response, your kindness leaves a lasting mark—sometimes in ways you may never expect. Just take it from Derek, who was deployed fifteen years ago and just shared this message with us last week, proving that the impact of your support lasts a lifetime:

"I was deployed to Iraq in 2010-2011. I know I never responded to any letters I received; that was a downfall on my part. I just wanted to send out a huge thank you, and to let everyone know that I appreciate the kindness I received from everyone at this organization. I will reach out individually to the people who I have information for. Your letters gave smiles at a time when happiness hardly existed. Again, thank you for all you do." – Derek

Even if you never hear back, your support matters. Your kindness brings comfort in difficult moments, and the impact lingers far beyond deployment. 💙 Join us in making a difference today.
