Be the First to Watch Our Inaugural DC MVFD Video!

We’re so excited to share something special exclusively with you! Today at 12:00 pm CT, Soldiers’ Angels will premiere the highlight video from our very first monthly Military & Veteran Food Distribution in Washington, D.C.

This powerful video takes you behind the scenes as volunteers unload trucks, pack groceries, and serve hundreds of Service Members, Veterans, and Military families. You’ll hear moving stories directly from those we support, and be inspired by partners and leaders who joined us for this milestone event to speak about the importance of tackling food insecurity in the Military and Veteran community.

You’ll hear from:

• CSM Reginald L.C. Smith, Headquarters Battalion, United States Army Garrison Fort Belvoir, Virginia

• Kathy Roth-Douquet, President and CEO, Blue Star Families

• Kim Mitchell, Navy Veteran & Former Senior Advisor and VSO Liaison, Department of Veterans Affairs

• Paul Shute, Former Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Veterans Affairs

• And more!!

As we head into Hunger Action Month this September, this video is a powerful reminder of how much we can accomplish when we work together.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsor, Lockheed Martin, our dedicated partners—Capital Area Food Bank and Blue Star Families—and our incredible donors and supporters like you, we were able to make a lasting impact in Washington, D.C. With your continued support, we can do even more to fight hunger among Veterans and Military families across the country.

👉 Don’t miss the premiere! Join us today at 12:00 pm CT on Facebook or YouTube to watch live and celebrate this incredible moment with us.

🍽️ Houston Luncheon Spotlight

Soldiers’ Angels recently served up smiles, connection, and comfort food to nearly 60 at-risk and homeless Veterans at the Houston VA’s Community Resource and Referral Center. Thanks to the generosity of Houston Dynamo and Dash Charities and the helping hands of a dedicated mother-and-son duo from the Young Men’s Service League, Veterans enjoyed brisket-stuffed baked potatoes from Rudy’s BBQ, sweet treats, and plenty of heartfelt conversation.

Starting in September, these luncheons will expand to the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of each month—doubling the opportunities to show up for those who served. Special thanks to Site Coordinator Jasmine, who works closely with local restaurants, the VA CRRC team, and volunteers to make every gathering unforgettable.

Together, we remind Veterans: You are seen, appreciated, and never alone.

☀️ Beating the Heat, Serving with Heart

All eight of our Military & Veteran Food Distributions pushed through the dog days of summer—and our incredible volunteers never wavered. Through blazing heat, pouring rain, sudden storms, and plenty of sweat, they showed up month after month to ensure thousands of Service Members, Veterans, and Military families received the groceries they need.

A huge thank you to our volunteers for all of their amazing work through the summer—and always. We have more inspiring photos from these events than we could ever fit into a newsletter, but we invite you to visit our Flickr gallery and scroll through the moments of connection, gratitude, and service that made this summer—and the entire year—unforgettable.

Looking for a way to get involved? Here are a few meaningful ways you can support Service Members, Veterans, and their families.
