February Charity of the Month: Operation HomeFront

 Operation HomeFront’s mission is to provide emergency financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors.  They have an excellent rating as a charitable organization, with 94 cents of every dollar going towards service members and their families.

Our service men and women sign up to protect our rights and freedoms.  They do so with a sense of duty that is commendable.  We cheer at parades on Memorial Day, and the Fourth of July; but most days this sacrifice is taken for granted. 



Even more telling are the stories of the families left at home.  So many of them struggle just to get buy, not having enough income to buy diapers or pay the rent.  Not only are they sacrificing having their partner, parent, son or daughter safe at home; they are struggling to put food on their table!  


Operation HomeFront seeks to help in any way they can.  On their Current Needs page, you can donate to specific requests from service members.  Most of the stories are heartbreaking.  You can also donate to their general fund.  


During the month of February, I will donate $1 to Operation HomeFront for the first 25 new followers to my blog AND the first 25 new likes on my Facebook page.


We can do more for these heroes and their families.  With your help Operation HomeFront will!
