OUR HEROES ARE HUNGRY: MANY OF THOSE FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY ALSO FIGHT HUNGER
“Long before the pandemic, military families struggled to put food on the table. From frequent moves to high rates of military spouse unemployment, the unique challenges of military life left too many families with empty cupboards and stomachs," said Besa Pinchotti, executive director of the National Military Family Association. "In the last year, those problems have only gotten worse."
In 2020, a Blue Star Families survey found that roughly 14% of enlisted active-duty families who responded reported low or very low food security over the past year.
United Soldiers and Sailors of America - Usasoa fully supports and advocates for the MILITARY HUNGER PREVENTION ACT.
In the meantime, please donate what you can to help our volunteers distribute much-needed food to military families on base at Ft. Belvoir in Virginia. We conducted this program two weeks ago at Ft Belvoir, and we hope that with your help and support, we can distribute additional food this upcoming week. We have contacted our supporters at Sam's Club, Costco, Paypal, and others to raise awareness for this urgently needed program and to help feed our heroes and their families.
To donate food, please go to our online AMAZON FOOD PANTRY and purchase the food, which is then delivered directly to our Capitol Hill office and then distributed to our military and their families at Ft. Belvoir Army Base in Virginia.
