Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday and if you will be considering a donation to a worthy non-profit this Holiday Season, I would ask you to coniser Able Forces Foundation. We are a small, 501(c)(3) non-profit charity located in the northern Shenandoah Valley (Front Royal). Our mission is to provide immediate financial assiatance to military and veterans and their families in crisis. In addition to continuing this part of our mission, during the Christmas holidays we solicit donations for our 15th Annual Adopt A Warrior Family For Christmas program in the Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland area.

This is our only formal program that we request donations during the year. If you can assist, any amount will assist. I work closely with a Catholic Nun for many years from Phillipines who' Mission was to take care of the street children San Fernando Phillipines. As she collexcted donations to build a Home for these children, she would always say "one dollar at a time". We believe the same. We take care of our families in need "one dollar at a time".

Please contact me directly if you have questions. God Bless you all and your families. Remember, there will be families unable to provide a Christmas to their families. Help us take care of those referred to us that will have nothing.

Please share this to your community. Thank you.

To my friends of Able Forces Foundation,

For our 15th year, we will once again be supporting military and veteran families with financial assistance during the holiday season. We continue to partner with Advocates from Quantico Marine Corps Base, Fort Belvoir, Walter Reed Medical Center, Martinsburg VAMC, Washington DC VAMC, the Virginia Department of Veterans Affairs, and many local military and veteran non-profit organizations to ensure these families, who might otherwise face a very difficult holiday season, receive the support they need.

I would ask you to please consider our Adopt A Warrior Family For Christmas program in your Holiday giving. Contact me directly, 703.220.1822 if you have any questions.
