Dear USO Supporter,
Imagine missing your spouse's birthday, your anniversary, your child's graduation or even their birth. This is the reality for many of our active-duty service members when on deployment. The holidays are often the hardest time to be deployed far from loved ones. Now imagine missing Christmas with your family.
"Outside of missing my daughter, I really miss being able to cook my own food and have other people home cook food. It just tastes better when it's made with love," says one service member.
Our troops are thousands of miles from everything familiar, on call 24/7, with limited food options where each day runs into the next. For these selfless heroes, a warm meal at a USO Center, reminders from home and a phone call to hear a loved one's voice are all they are asking for this Christmas.

For a few more days, your gift will DOUBLE to help fulfill a hero's wish list this Christmas.
When you are out finishing your holiday shopping, please keep our military heroes on your list. Remember, for just a few more days, all gifts made to our troops will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000, thanks to our friends at FedEx.
We are working hard to deliver programs like 10,000 Christmas meals and other holiday support to service members around the world. But we are falling short and may not be able to reach all of the troops who need our support.
For the People Who Serve,
The USO
FedEx is matching all gifts to the USO up to a total of $100,000, through December 31, 2025. Your contribution will be used where it is needed most.
