The commitment and support from volunteers, like Samsung employees, is what allows Operation Homefront to make a real and positive difference in the lives of our military families and veterans. Operation Homefront relies heavily on our more than 4,000 volunteers who support our mission and help us deliver our programs. How important is volunteer engagement to your organization? To date, we have fulfilled nearly 1,000 urgent requests and provided over $710,000 in financial relief. Operation Homefront remains focused on supporting them when they need it the most. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to take a tremendous toll on the financial stability of our nation’s military families.
Have the programs and services you provide changed in response to the pandemic? We survey our program participants after each event to determine if they feel the event made them more strong, stable, and or secure. Each of these programs has a community expo component that connects the families to resources in their communities. We accomplish this through our Recurring Family Support programs such as Back-to-School Brigade, Star-Spangled Babies Baby Showers, and our Holiday Meals for Military programs. Operation Homefront is committed to building connectedness between military families and their communities. How is your organization improving military families’ connectedness to their communities? In order to thrive, people need to feel a sense of belonging.
Operation Homefront is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive - not simply struggle to get by - in the communities they have worked so hard to protect.įor over 15 years, we have provided programs that offer: RELIEF (through Critical Financial Assistance and transitional housing programs), RESILIENCY (through permanent housing and caregiver support services) and RECURRING FAMILY SUPPORT programs and services throughout the year that help military families overcome the short-term bumps in the road so they don’t become long-term chronic problems. Tell us about Operation Homefront and the various programs you offer military families. Samsung Veterans Community ERG National Chair and Director of Mobile B2B Business Strategy John Hendrick spoke with Operation Homefront’s Program Manager – Region One Kathleen Coleman about the significance of giving back at a time when our collective support is needed most and the importance of building strong military families in the community.
