Each year, Wawa, Inc. teams up with the USO and local members of the Air and Army National Guard for the annual tradition known as Operation Taste of Home, where together, they assemble care packages. This year, as #VeteransDay approaches, this annual tradition continues as Wawa associates, members of the Wawa Veterans’ Alliance and members of the USO and Pennsylvania National Guard plan to assemble more than 10,000 care packages that will be sent to service members stationed abroad. The Wawa Foundation will also be presenting the USO with a check for over a million dollars raised through customer donations! These campaigns make it easy for customers to donate and show that even small amounts can make a big difference — often totaling millions of dollars. Yes, believe it or not, that small change you donate as you make your purchase can actually make a huge difference in the lives of American service members, military spouses and military children. #TheUSO’s corporate partnerships help to fund major USO programs that support service members and their families — programs that keep them connected while they are stationed or deployed anywhere in the world.

Christmas is a special time for many, a time for friends and family. But for all too many people, Christmas can be a difficult time, a time where isolation and loneliness can be amplified. On leaving the Armed Forces, many find the transition to civy street a difficult time. It can be a lonely time trying to forge a new life outside of the Armed Forces family - even more so when your time in the Armed Forces is cut short due to injury, illness and deeper battles. This is why support pathways for Veterans are so important. As well as receiving the support and guidance needed, they can then link in with the SWV Veteran Support Network, so that loneliness and isolation is less of a problem. This time of year highlights even more the need for Veterans Charities, so Veterans can reach out and feel supported.

We are approaching almost 12,000 Armed Forces Covenant signings! ✍️ Why should you organisation also pledge support to the Armed Forces community? The Covenant is a national responsibility involving government, businesses, local authorities, charities and the public. Since 2011, organisations have been making their pledge to support members of the Armed Forces community who work in their business or access their products and services. The level of support depends on the size and nature of the organisation, but typically includes policies that: encourage reserve service; support employment of veterans and service spouses/partners; and give the Armed Forces community a fair deal on commercial products and services.

“Our fear is overcome by our conscience and our beliefs and forces us to act." - John McCain My son Rex is one of the youngest participating in this year’s New York City SEAL Swim to raise money for The Navy SEAL Foundation which provides critical support for the warriors, veterans, and families of Naval Special Warfare. This event consists of a mile run at the start, a total of 3.5 miles of swimming broken up by 3 stations where they complete 100 honor pushups and 22 pull ups, and a final mile run at the end to the World Trade Center. Please consider helping him in his journey. https://lnkd.in/egt6Wibm “Sworn to protect us from America’s foes. They operate under cover of darkness, against unimaginable odds. Not for status. Not for glory. But to defend our way of life. With strength, courage, and honor.” Funds raised will help provide critical, evidence-based programs for SEALs and their families - programs designed to build strength and resilience, encourage optimal health, enhance opportunities for growth through education, and solidify a sense of community and belonging. - $500 could fund travel for a wounded SEAL or Special Warfare Combat Crewmen (SWCC) in need of specialized care for their return to duty - $250 could provide graduate-level test prep assistance for a transitioning SEAL or SWCC - $150 could fund one session of grief counseling for a Gold Star family member - $100 could pay for a physical rehabilitation session for a SEAL or SWCC - $50 could cover two hours of Respite Child Care for one family of a deployed service member - $25 could provide one meal for a Command Memorial - $10 could fund 1 water bottle for an NSW kid at Summer Camp #SEALswim #NSF #NSFTeammates #NavySEALFoundation #NYCSEALSwim

Hi LinkedIn friends! I am taking on the Army-Navy 100 Mile Challenge. All donations, support, partnership, and accountability is encouraged, as I begin logging miles on Dec 1 but am accepting donations starting now! Suicide rates among active-duty military members are currently at an all-time high since record-keeping began after 9/11 and have been increasing over the past five years at an alarmingly steady pace. In fact, some branches of the Armed Forces are experiencing the highest rate of suicides since before World War Il. In 2021, research found that 30,177 active duty personnel and veterans who served in the military after 9/11 have died by suicide - compared to the 7,057 service members killed in combat in those same 20 years. That is, military suicide rates are four times higher than deaths that occurred during military operations. For military families and parents, whose active duty loved one already sacrifices so much to protect our freedom, this trend is extremely troubling. l am not a runner but decided to take on this challenge to show solidarity with the brave people who continuously serve us everyday. 100 Miles is hard but it is nothing compared to the Mental Health struggle our service members often face. As a younger sister to an active service member who has mourned more than anyone should, it is important that we begin to have these hard conversations and offer support, even if we are just civilians. Thank you for your support and donations! https://lnkd.in/ecgJwAMe
