Military families give their all to keep us safe.
Let's return the favor.
Military families are extremely proud to serve our country and work hard to stay strong while facing the added burdens of military life. What keeps them strong is support from all of us - their community neighbors.
When our men and women in uniform know that their families have the support of caring neighbors, they can have the peace of mind to focus on the work of keeping us all safe. And their families will have the opportunity to not just get by, but to thrive. That's what being a neighbor is all about.
We're all stronger when we take care of each other.
