Hundreds of Military Kids Are Waiting for a Holiday Miracle

The holidays should be a time of warmth and celebration — but for many Military and Veteran families, the season can bring a heavy burden.

Rising costs and fixed incomes often mean that providing gifts or a special meal just isn’t possible. That’s where you come in.

Through the Soldiers’ Angels Adopt-A-Family Holiday Support Program [[link removed]], caring individuals like you can adopt a Military or Veteran family and make their holidays bright.

Each family receives a grocery gift card to help them prepare a holiday meal and a gift for each child — simple, meaningful gestures that show our Military and Veteran families that they’re not forgotten.

🎁 More than 600 Military and Veteran families are currently waiting to be adopted — and more are being approved every day.

Your kindness can change that. When you adopt a family, you’re not just sending gifts — you’re sending love, gratitude, and hope to those who’ve already given so much for our freedom.

🫶 How It Works

Eligible families register and verify their service and financial need.

Volunteers register with Soldiers’ Angels — or log in if they’re already registered.

Choose your family: Browse and filter by family size, location, branch of service, etc.

Review their wish list and family details.

Connect with your adopted family, shop their gifts, send or deliver them, and make their holiday bright!

It’s simple. It’s personal. And it truly makes a difference.
