What is Deployed Love?

We are here to support you through it all!!

✨💙 **So… What Does a Local Coordinator Do?** 💙✨

Short answer: **A LOT of awesome things.**

Our Local Coordinators are the magic-makers behind Deployed Love at each installation. They help bring events to life, welcome military families, connect volunteers, and create spaces where people feel supported and less alone.

From hosting coffee socials and holiday events, to sharing resources, cheering on families during deployment, and building real community — Local Coordinators help turn “we should hang out sometime” into meaningful connection. ☕🎄✨

If you love people, enjoy organizing fun moments, and want to make a difference right where you live, this role might be for you. Because community doesn’t build itself… it builds when someone says *“I’ve got this.”* 💙

Take the Leap and help us build a Deployed Love community at Fort Hood ❤️

Community is so important!! We want to make sure that everyone has the ability to feel supported and surrounded by people who are there for them!!

That's why we can't wait to bring Deployed Love back to the area!!

This week we talk about the importance of finding a community after each move, and in turn finding your purpose.

As military spouses we tend to find ourselves floating after each move, struggling to find traction in yet another new place. But starting out with building your community will make each move feel that much easier!

Deployed Love is expanding, and our programs are reaching more military families than ever before. To keep that momentum going, we’re looking for amazing volunteers in:

📍 Fort Hood

Whether you have a little time or a lot, your support can make a huge difference for families navigating deployment and military life. Every event, every connection, and every smile happens because of volunteers who care.

I have never been to this restaurant, but thought our military families may need this information right now 💜

With the government shutdown still in effect and things getting tight for families, Jim and I would like to offer a free 14” cheese pizza all day on Nov 1 at both locations. No purchase necessary. Dine in or carry out only. Limited one per family.

🚨 Government Shutdown Alert 🚨

A shutdown could start tomorrow if a budget isn’t passed. Here’s what military families need to know:

💰 Pay: Mid-October paycheck could be delayed. Navy Federal & USAA offer 0% advances. Back pay is usually provided later.

🛑 Programs: Some drills, travel, and base activities may pause. Exchanges stay open. VA hospitals & crisis lines continue.

💡 Tips: Contact landlords, mortgage, and utilities if you might miss payments. Stay organized & positive—the last shutdown lasted 35 days.

👀 Active duty: Check with leadership—you still report to work.
