Today is Armed Forces Day. This month is Military Appreciation Month.

But we don't have enough volunteers to support the over 340 deployed service members who have registered with Soldiers' Angels and are waiting to be adopted.

Believe it or not, Soldiers' Angels is currently supporting more deployed service members than we have in the past seven years. Our current Angels supporting these service members are doing an incredible job... but with the increased amount of service members we simply don't have enough virtual volunteers to meet the demand.Can you help by adopting a deployed service member?

Becoming an Angel is easy and rewarding. To adopt a deployed service member, you need to join Soldiers' Angels as a virtual volunteer and then join the Deployed Adoptions Team.

Here's what you would need to commit to:

Deployed Adoptions Team Volunteer Commitment: Send a minimum of one care package every 30 days for the length of deploymentSend two cards or letters every 30 days for the length of deploymentSupport a minimum of one service member every 30 daysReport the support you provided via our database Are you ready to adopt a deployed service member?

Special thanks to KENS5 and Kens Cares for helping us spread the word about needing more volunteers!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental health and wellbeing is still a bit stigmatized in the military community despite numerous resources available to veterans and active duty service members. It’s just as important to be mentally healthy as it is to have a “clean bill of health” so to speak. As a member of our nation’s armed forces, there are a lot of scenarios in which trauma can occur. Add to that the regular stresses of life that we all face.

But where do you go when you need mental healthcare? What kind of mental health treatment should you seek? In our latest blog series, we’ve pulled together some resources to help navigate the myriad of choices.
