Without donors like you, the USO can’t provide our service members with the care, comfort, connection, and support that can only be provided by an organization that is dedicated to being with them at every point of their military journey. Since 1941, the USO (a 501c3, nonprofit organization) has served the men and women of the U.S. Military and their families throughout their time in uniform — from the moment they join, throughout their deployments, and their equally courageous, and sometimes most difficult, transition back to their communities.

Last year alone, the USO provided more than 10.4 million total service connections to our military members and their families while operating more than 250 USO locations globally. Locally, USO California delivered 450,205 total service connections in 2022 not only at our center locations but also across the state in the most remote locations like Bridgeport, Fort Irwin, and much more.

Behind the scenes, the USO is a family of volunteers, sustained by the charitable contributions of millions of generous Americans united in their commitment to supporting America’s service members by keeping them connected to the very things they’ve sworn to defend — family, home, and country.

I hope you will consider joining us in this crucial mission by making a donation today.
