CONNECTING
MILITARY FAMILIES
TO THEIR COMMUNITIES

During Blue Star Welcome Week and all year round, let us give military families a sense of belonging.

BLUE STAR WELCOME WEEK

A New American Tradition

Thank you for your efforts to welcome military families as part of Blue Star Welcome Week this year!

Thanks to our Chapters, partners, and volunteers, we hosted more than 300 events directly supporting the 600,000 military families who recently moved to a new community.

Whether you recently relocated yourself and attended an event, or you opened your door to new neighbors, thank you for participating.

Have ideas for how to grow our engagement for Blue Star Welcome Week 2025? Reach out to Welcome Week lead, Leah Love, at [email protected].
