Even with the NFL matching all gifts, and with Thanksgiving right around the corner, we fell short of our goal to fund 2,500 Thanksgiving meals for deployed service members.
But providing a little bit of home to our heroes on Thanksgiving is SO important that we were able to extend the goal deadline until midnight tonight, giving you one more chance to help us reach this crucial goal.

Next week, Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving with family, friends, food and fun. However you celebrate, we sincerely hope you enjoy this time with your family and loved ones.
But for service members deployed far from home, it’ll just be another Thursday. Another day in a lonely barracks, thousands of miles away from their loved ones. Another day of the same old mess hall food. Another day of hoping they’ll be able to find a secure internet connection to call home before their kids go to bed. It’s up to us to brighten this day for them.
The USO is determined to uplift our service members on this important day. That’s why we’ve set a goal to fund 2,500 Thanksgiving meals at military bases and USO Centers around the world.
And we’re so glad to share that the NFL is matching all gifts, but we’re counting on YOU to help us reach this ambitious goal by Thursday at midnight.

Spending Thanksgiving far away from their loved ones is just one of many, many sacrifices our military members make throughout the year in service of our country while asking nothing of us in return. We may not be able to bring them home or fully understand the challenges they go through — but we can make sure they enjoy a warm, festive Thanksgiving meal.

Thank you for supporting our heroes in uniform when it matters most,
