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. To find out more about the Veteran support pathways on offer, please click on the link below... https://lnkd.in/guWgFtXT To donate- Text VETERANS to 70470 to donate £10 Or VETERANS20 to donate £20

NCUA Approves Expansion of “Qualified Charity” to Veterans Organizations Earlier this year, Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) and NAFCU (National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions) sent a joint letter to the NCUA Board. In the letter, we asked the NCUA to amend the definition of a “qualified charity” as it relates to Charitable Donation Accounts (CDAs) in Part 721.3 of NCUA regulations to include 501(c)(19) veterans’ organizations. Today, our efforts were a great success! The NCUA's decision to grant this revision will not only lessen previous restrictions defense credit unions faced when contributing to veterans' organizations but will also provide all credit unions with more opportunity to better serve their veteran members and communities! DCUC will continue working with each of our member credit unions alongside other veteran service organizations when advocating for the financial prosperity of our Nation's veterans. Lastly, DCUC would like to thank NAFCU for their help in drafting several joint letters, and for their consistent advocacy efforts, along with Abound Credit Union, TruStage, the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF), and the Credit Union National Association (CUNA). We also want to thank the NCUA Board and staff for making this possible. #veterans #veterancommunity #veteranssupportingveterans #militarycommunity #military

Saying you're Veteran Friendly as an employer is about more than just hiring a few veterans for street credit. It's recognizing their exceptional skills that align with your needs. But is that enough? I believe companies should support military/veteran non-profits, too! If you're not matching donations to mil-vet nonprofits made by your employees within your corporate matching program, are you truly supporting military/veterans or just your organizational needs with skilled military/veteran talent? Something to think about. Do more. Be better. Match. #hvvtf #hiringveterans #milvetnonprofitgiving #supportourtroops #veteranfriendly #giveback
