Help us spread the word about the Military Family Lifestyle Survey!
The 2026 Blue Star Families Military Family Lifestyle Survey is almost here! As a trusted partner, we hope that you will help us reach our goal of reaching at least 7,000 participants this year!
This comprehensive survey gives our military and veteran families a voice and a chance to share their experiences. Since the inception of the MFLS, we’ve collected more than 114,000 responses!
Please help us engage active-duty, National Guard, Reserve, veterans, and their families — of all branches — to take the survey. Each military experience is different — we want to hear all of them!
The survey findings offer crucial insights and data which will help inform national leaders, local communities, and philanthropic organizations who have the power to advocate for and implement change.
Please use the sample social media, email, and newsletter copy and downloadable graphics to share the survey with your network between July 13–August 9, 2026. We ask that you please do not alter the graphics, but we encourage you to customize the copy to align with your organization's brand and voice. Make sure you follow us on social media and use the hashtag #BSFSurvey.
