“Thanks to our generous partners, Holiday Meals for Military® allows us to provide much-needed support to military families so they can enjoy the holidays and a "thank you" from the communities they've worked so hard to protect.” - Brig Gen (ret) John I Pray Jr, Operation Homefront President and CEO
SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB) November 15, 2021
Operation Homefront’s Holiday Meals for Military program has launched with the goal of putting meals on the tables of more than 15,000 American military families by December 17, 2021. The program, which is in its 12th year, provides junior- and mid-grade enlisted military families with all the grocery items necessary to prepare a traditional holiday meal, helping to ease their financial hardships and to make the holiday season brighter for those who sacrifice so much on behalf of all Americans. The national nonprofit expects to achieve a key milestone this holiday season of serving its 550,000th military family member since the program officially began in 2010.
Thanks to the generous support of partners including Chobani, P&G, Grunt Style Foundation, Lockheed Martin, Food Lion, Bob Hope Legacy, San Antonio Shoemakers (SAS), and others, meals are being distributed at more than 80 events across the country this holiday season, starting with Fairchild, Washington and ending at Travis Air Force Base, California. This valuable program connects civilians to military families helping them start strong and stay strong this holiday season and beyond.
“Military families are often far from their loved ones during the holiday season, making it difficult for them to enjoy the traditions many Americans look forward to,” said Brig. Gen. (ret.) John I. Pray Jr., President and CEO of Operation Homefront. “Thanks to the unwavering support of our many generous partners, our highly-regarded Holiday Meals for Military® program allows us to provide much-needed support to our military families so they can enjoy the holidays and a tangible “thank you” from the communities they have worked so hard to protect.”
