Wherever duty takes our troops, the USO is there!
For nearly 70 years, the USO has filled a primary role in boosting the morale and improving the welfare of America's Armed Forces.
Last year, the more than 130 USO Centers around the world received over 7 million visits from military personnel. At the same time, more than 25,000 volunteers contributed their time and effort, and 1,000,000 individuals made cash donations on behalf of our troops.

The USO is perhaps most famous for bringing top flight performers from Bob Hope to Robin Williams to Kid Rock directly to the Front to entertain the troops. But we also provide essential services that support not only our GIs around the world, but also their families left behind at home.
 | We hand out pre-paid phone cards so troops can call home for free.
| | We give them care packages of hard-to find personal items.
| | Our airport centers provide invaluable travel assistance.
| | Our mobile canteens can travel virtually anywhere with snacks, games, and internet access.
| | Our front line centers in Iraq and Afghanistan offer a welcome respite from the stress of combat.
| | USO Volunteers send troops off when they leave, support them along the way, and welcome them home when they return.
| | Our special programs benefit the children and families of soldiers overseas. | | | | | | | | What You Need to do:
Contrary to what many believe, the USO is not a government agency. We rely for the bulk of our funding on donations from generous individuals who want to support our men and women in uniform. Moreover, more than 89¢ out of every $1.00 donated goes directly to benefit our GIs.
For anyone seeking to say Thanks to our troops in a way that will make a real difference in their lives, there is no better way than by donating to the USO.
