🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, We Remember. 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedom. Their courage, selflessness, and service will never be forgotten. ❤️🤍💙

As we gather with family and friends this holiday weekend, let us take a moment to reflect on the heroes who gave everything for the freedoms we've come to know and love!

From all of us at Military Families Together, we remember and honor our fallen service members and stand beside the families who carry their legacy forward.

Kennon Daugherty is an amazing young hip-hop artist who strives to provide local talent with opportunities to perform. When he said he wanted to support them by having another local show but ALSO wanted to support our mission, we immediately said YES! What a great way to bring so many people together.
Well, he really showed up AND showed out!
He raised more than $5800 to help veterans and military families!
Thank you, Kenny! ❤️ 🤍💙
Thank you to everyone who performed. Your talent does not go unnoticed.

THANK YOU❤️🇺🇸💙

Since November 2024, Military Families Together has contributed OVER $50,000 directly to our recipients in support of veterans and military families in need.

This impact goes beyond financial assistance. Alongside these contributions, we’ve also been able to provide essential items like furniture and equipment to help create safe, stable, and comfortable homes.

These funds support critical needs including rent and housing assistance, utilities, groceries, and more! We meet families where they are and help ease the burden during difficult times.

We are deeply grateful to our donors, sponsors, and volunteers. Every contribution, every hour, and every act of support has made this possible. Thank you for standing with us for our veterans and military families. ❤️

Armed Forces Day Fundraiser - where do we begin?
First and foremost, thank you to Lisa and Bret Todd at Pier 55 Lounge for opening their establishment and their hearts for our organization. We are truly grateful for all the support! ❤️
Thank you to their amazing staff for serving up the drinks, providing smiles, and great conversation.
Thank you to the Celebrity Bartenders - Jamie Richardson from Jamie's Route 66, Janae Best from Koo Koo's 2, and, last but not least Flo Saddler from Goodfellas Pub!!
Also, a special thank you to Bobby Edwards, CW5, United States Army. Achieving the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 5 is an extraordinary accomplishment and one of the most elite distinctions in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Thank you to our volunteers who showed up to help out: Catherine Metzger Bryant, Pam Rhodes, Nick Bartley, Steve Lowe, and Ryan and Christal Williams. None of this would be possible without you all!
