LAST CALL for Holiday Programs
December is here and so are the deadlines for our holiday programs! Act fast if you want to participate in Holiday Stockings for Heroes or Holiday Adopt-A-Family! Just one week left before we wrap up both programs.
Holiday Stockings for Heroes
Still struggling to find your holiday cheer? Stuffing holiday stockings for our service members and veterans is a great way to get in the spirit! But please note:
- Stockings must be sent to the address provided to you by Soldiers’ Angels no later than Friday, December 9, 2022. (Packages will need to be postmarked December 9th.)
- If you don't have time to stuff stockings before December 9, we could use your help covering the cost of shipping the stockings!
Click Pledge Now to learn more and pledge your stockings before it's too late! Or Donate to sponsor the shipping for one or more stockings!
Holiday Adopt-A-Family
We have extended the deadline for military and veteran families to register for support to Friday, December 9!
But don't delay!!
If you are an eligible military or veteran family, it's incredibly important that you register and submit all necessary paperwork as soon as possible!!
The sooner you complete the registration process, the longer your adoptor will have to shop for your family and get the gifts to you.
Click Register for Support to learn about eligibility requirements, more about the program and to register for suupport.
Don't Miss the Advent Calendar!
Who doesn't love opening an advent calendar? Each day brings a new and often tasty surprise! Want to enjoy the surprise without the calories? Check out the Soldiers' Angels Digital Advent Calendar— Highlights of Hope.
Instead of a tiny morsel of food, you will see a moment from 2022 when you created an impact on the lives of our service members, veterans, and military families.
You can even sign up for a daily reminder so you never miss a door! Now that's something your cardboard and chocolate advent calendar definitely can't do! 😉
Urgent Call for Deployed Support
We recently had a large number of deployed service members register to be supported and currently have over 400 still waiting for support.
We are in need of more volunteers to join the Deployed Adoptions Team and ensure these service members are supported!
Being deployed over the holidays is difficult as it is... the last thing we want is for these men and women to register for support that never comes!
To ensure we get each and every one of these service members supported, we're offering a special opportunity to give the Deployed Adoptions Team a try.
Register now as a Team Angel and try it! If you're not fully satisfied after you send your first care package, we will reimburse you the $1 you paid to join the team and reassign your service member to another volunteer.
To get started:
- Click the Register Now Button
- Select "Team Angel" and complete your profile
- On Step 2, select Deployed Adoptions Team

Huge Thanks to Halliburton
They recently rewarded Soldiers' Angels with a $25,000 grant! A portion of the grant provided the supplies to stuff & ship 400 stockings for our Holiday Stockings for Heroes campaign. This past Wednesday, volunteers from Halliburton came together at their Houston campus to pack those stockings. In just over an hour, 50 volunteers packed all 400 stockings!! So grateful for their support of Soldiers' Angels and the military and veteran communities!
Isn't this card the sweetest?
It was included in a box of candy donated for Treats for Troops! These wonderful young ladies took the time to make candy bags and even wrote notes to go in each bag. Thank you so much for supporting our service members and veterans, Nora, Sylvia, Sarah, Julia and Lucy!

Recycled Rides Event in San Antonio
What an amazing day in San Antonio this past Thursday!! Soldiers' Angels was part of a Recycled Rides giveaway gifting 15 "recycled" automobiles to deserving veterans!! The event was a part of USAA's 100th anniversary celebration. It was an honor to see so many Soldiers' Angels clients selected for such a wonderful and life-changing gift!! Huge, huge thank you to USAA, the National Auto Body Council, and the many other corporate partners that made this wonderful event happen.
