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
Around 600,000 active-duty and transitioning military families move each year, and these days, those moves are not only onto bases but also into local neighborhoods where folks can face isolation. Blue Star Welcome Week is a nationwide campaign to build a better sense of belonging and community for all of us.
Together, we can make a difference for the men and women who serve, Veterans, and their families, simply through participating in Blue Star Welcome Week. When families DO feel a sense of belonging, everything else improves — financial security, mental health and wellness, resilience, and even military retention.
