Food Assistance
Operation Homefront assists military families during difficult financial times by providing food assistance in the form of food boxes, gift certificates to grocery stores, or food vouchers to the commissary. While we are not a long term solution for chronic financial problems, we are able to provide emergency food assistance to those families that find themselves in a budget crunch and will assist clients in identifying additional food resources. We typically provide enough assistance for one week of food per client family.
We cover:
- Basic Food Needs
- Toiletries
We do not cover:
- Items that would not be considered essential
- Alcohol, tobacco products, or electronic devices
Even Heroes Need Some Help
Our service members and their families are heroes to us. Some are everyday heroes and some are uncommon ones. Most would not consider themselves heroes; rather they tell us they were just doing their job. Doing their job, means preserving our freedom. Please help us, continue to help them. To learn more about our programs and to find out how you can help, please contact our national office or your local Operation Homefront office.
