Operation Homefront proudly hosted a Star-Spangled Baby Shower for 50 new and expecting families from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and the surrounding area.

This event was made possible by our amazing volunteers, generous donors, and community partners: Crum & Forster, Johnstone Supply, Delta Children, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., Procter & Gamble, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 6590, BAE Systems, The Breastfeeding Shop, Burlington County WIC, Burlington County Sheriff's Office, Connect The Dots, Pinelands Family Success Center, Southern New Jersey Perinatal Cooperative, United Through Reading, Rumble Tuff, The Maker's Place, Tactical Baby Gear, and Wounded Warrior Project Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event a memorable and supportive experience for our military families! #MilitaryFamilies #CommunitySupport

We prepare meals and appetizers for friends to mark milestones, celebrate holidays, and share cherished family traditions.

As we close out June, we remind our military community about the importance of recognizing invisible wounds many service members carry, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD is a severe condition that affects countless veterans and their families, yet its signs can often go unnoticed. During PTSD Awareness Month, it's essential to bridge the gap of awareness to those who may not recognize the signs. Whether you are experiencing PTSD or know someone who might be, utilizing available resources can make a difference. If you or someone you know is struggling, visit https://lnkd.in/gi7nHeK for information and support. #VeteranSupport #HelpingOthers #Veterans

Every back-to-school season, Air Force Master Sgt. Richard Anderson prepares to brace for the annual strain on his family's budget. Recently, the Andersons were grateful for Operation Homefront’s Back-to-School Brigade® event, where their three children received backpacks filled with essential supplies! Richard's wife, Amy, discovered the event through the Air Force’s Key Spouse program. She was impressed by the volunteers’ dedication and appreciated the resources provided to parents, including coupons and useful flyers from sponsors and local businesses. Thanks to the generosity of donors, sponsors, and volunteers, this program has distributed nearly half a million supply-filled backpacks to military children like the Anderson's.
