Get Involved
Military-connected families need our support!
We've included some ways you can get involved and connected with your local military community. You can be an important part of raising awareness and helping to welcome military and Veteran families during Welcome Week and all year long.
Business & Restaurant
Support from local businesses and restaurants helps military families feel welcomed and included. These entities are a main source of community engagement, connection, stability, and exploration. In addition, military members feed into the local economy, benefiting businesses in the area.

Civilian Supporter
Military families need the support of their civilian neighbors and to know they care. From posting a message of welcome on your neighborhood message board to hosting a block party, no gesture is too small when it comes to helping military families feel they belong.
