Military families usually live on a very tight budget, so putting together a Christmas or other winter holiday celebration can be a challenge.

The goal in helping these military families is to show America’s gratitude with presents for the children and a grocery gift card or prepaid Visa gift card for them to purchase their holiday dinner and trimmings.

  • Thinking of you/Get well
  • Anniversary
  • New baby

Soldiers’ Angels is here to support the growing Veteran population. If you know of a Veteran that is celebrating a birthday, has never been told “Thank You” or given any type of acknowledgement for their service, or might need get well wishes or just some encouragement, our Cards Plus Team of wonderful Angel volunteers are willing to send cards to them – just to let them know that we care about them.

If you would like to request a card to be sent to a Veteran, please click on this link and complete the form.

The Soldiers’ Angels Sewing and Crafting Team provides lovingly created handmade pieces of comfort and support to veterans, deployed service members and their families.

Whether a Team Angel is an expert seamstress or a casual hobbyist, there is an opportunity to meet the needs of our troops on the Sewing and Crafting Team. Many Sewing and Crafting Team Angels rely on their personal talents and skill sets to knit, sew, crochet and quilt their gifts of support.

For those less experienced, no-sew blankets provide an opportunity to become more involved. These handmade items are then distributed within the military community to active duty service members, expectant military families and in VA hospitals around the country.

The Women of Valor program focuses on the female caregivers of post-9/11 wounded, ill, and injured service members and veterans. (The caregivers may be the wife, girlfriend, mother, or another female relative of the wounded hero.)

Our team of Angels focuses on giving support, encouragement, and Angel love to women in the program.

Soldiers’ Angels will provide educational and other reference materials to the caregivers, selected by experts in the field. This, paired with the Team Angel support, results in a comprehensive program and provides a well-rounded team to walk alongside these incredible ladies during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

Team Angels will provide ongoing support throughout the year for each caregiver, adhering to the specific dates of significance based on their individual support requests.
