About
Our Military Kids recognizes the sacrifice of children of deployed National Guard, deployed Reserve, or post 9/11 combat-injured service members by offering extracurricular activity grants that build the child's self-confidence, enhance family wellness, and strengthen a shared sense of community.
Military families with a service member in the National Guard, the Reserve, or recovering from combat injuries are often not near a military installation so access to support services is limited. During deployments, these families may lose income when their military member is mobilized for duty, temporarily leaving their civilian job to serve our Country. The lack of resources and loss of income is the same for combat injured Veterans in treatment and creates gaps that are hard on families. Our Military Kids fills these gaps with an impactful grant program that pays for their children’s extracurricular activities.
