The holiday season is here—and our Military and Veteran communities need us more than ever. 🎄✨ Will you help spread joy by supporting one (or more!) of the Soldiers’ Angels holiday programs this year?

👇 Explore our holiday programs below and see how you can make a difference.

Treats for Troops

Extra Halloween candy? Share it with the Military-connected community through Soldiers’ Angels. Here’s how you can get involved:

Ways to Participate:

• Register your business or organization as a collection site! Keep it private for employees or list it on our interactive Candy Map to engage your community. Registration is open October 1–31.

• Families can donate excess candy by searching the Candy Map after Halloween to find a collection site near you! Some sites may even offer buyback prizes for kids who donate.

• Not trick-or-treating this year, but still want to help? Create treat bags filled with candy and send them directly to Soldiers’ Angels HQ!

How We Use the Candy:
Your donated candy brings a little sweetness wherever it goes. 🍬 Soldiers’ Angels ships it to deployed Service Members, shares it with Veterans at VA Hospitals, and uses it at holiday events for military families. A simple piece of candy can spark joy, brighten spirits, and remind our heroes they’re never forgotten.

Holiday Stockings for Heroes

Pledge stuffed holiday stockings and share joy with the Military-connected community. Together, we can reach our goal of collecting 40,000 stuffed stockings this holiday season!

Ways to Participate:

• Register as a volunteer now! Once registered, you’ll be ready to pledge your stockings starting October 1st.

• As a registered volunteer, you can choose a stocking opportunity and pledge the number of stockings you’ll send—whether it’s 1 or 1,000—every single one makes a difference!

• Fill your stockings with holiday goodies and ship them to the address provided in your opportunity. In some cases, you may even have the chance to hand-deliver them to a local VA or military installation!

• NEW THIS YEAR! Can't commit to a full stuffed stocking? Shop our Amazon Wishlist and help us collect items for the stockings we pack out HQ!

How We Use the Stockings:
Pledged stockings become so much more than holiday decorations—they’re gifts of joy and gratitude. Soldiers’ Angels ships stockings to deployed Service Members and Chaplains overseas, hand-delivers them to Veterans in VA Hospitals, and shares them with the military-connected community at December events nationwide. Each stocking is a reminder that they are honored, remembered, and celebrated during the holiday season.

Holiday Adopt-A-Family

The holiday season can bring extra stress—especially for Military and Veteran families living on a tight budget or separated by deployment. The Soldiers’ Angels Adopt-A-Family program helps ensure those families can celebrate with joy, dignity, and peace of mind.

Ways to Participate:

• Military and Veteran Families in need: Registration is now open! Apply to be matched with a sponsor family that will provide gifts for your children and a grocery gift card for your holiday meal.

• Adopters: You must be a registered Angel volunteer. Starting October 1, registered volunteers can adopt a family through their Angel dashboard.

• Spread the word: Encourage friends, coworkers, and community groups to get involved and help brighten the season for even more families.

How Adopt-A-Family Supports:
Through this program, generous donors are matched with Military and Veteran families in need. Sponsors purchase gifts for the children and provide a grocery gift card to help cover the holiday meal. Every adoption ensures a family can celebrate the season with joy, gratitude, and the reassurance that they are not forgotten.

Handmade Holiday Ornaments

Handmade ornaments are a simple but meaningful way to spread cheer to Service Members and Veterans during the holiday season. Each ornament adds a personal touch that reminds our heroes they are remembered and appreciated.

Ways to Participate:

• Get creative: Make ornaments at home with your family, friends, or community group.

• Use festive materials: Craft with paper, felt, wood, or other lightweight supplies—just be sure to keep them holiday-themed and cheerful.

• Send them in: Mail your finished ornaments to Soldiers’ Angels HQ, where they’ll be included in holiday packages and events.

• Host a crafting event: Organize an ornament-making session with your school, church, or workplace to multiply the impact.

How We Use the Ornaments:
We try to include a handmade ornament in every holiday stocking we deliver! Ornaments are also shared at VA Hospitals and holiday events for military families, or tucked into care packages for deployed Service Members. Each ornament is a small work of art carrying a big message: you are valued, and you are not forgotten this holiday season.
