***Reminder*** Georgia HFMA 2009-2010 Charity Campaign

OPERATION HOMEFRONT GEORGIA

 

Supporting Georgia Military Families. Supporting America.

If you have not contributed please help us to reach our goal.

Our goal for this campaign, which will kick off Nov. 23rd and conclude on February 28th, is $5,000, but of course we would love to exceed that goal. We suggest that you make a $25.00 donation to this cause. Please take a minute to read the additional information below about Operation Homefront.

Operation Homefront Georgia is a 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit, and is part of a national organization that has 30 chapters throughout the country. The creation of this organization was in response to the needs of military families whose loved ones were deployed to Iraq and the Middle East. Operation Homefront is a 4-Star Charity as rated by the Charity Navigator with only 8 cents of every dollar going to administrative expenses.


The primary mission of Operation Homefront Georgia is to provide emergency financial assistance to our military families and to wounded warriors when they return home.
Operation Homefront Georgia serves all 13 military installations in the state of Georgia, as well as the families of the National Guard and Reserves. All of the aid given to the military families is in the form of grants, not loans. Funding for our assistance is derived from corporate and civilian donations and sponsorships. Operation Homefront Georgia receives no funding from the, the military or any federal agency.


Due to increased deployments to war zones by the National Guard and active duty military at bases such as Ft. Benning and Ft. Stewart, our funding needs keep increasing. In 2008 we provided financial assistance and morale related support to over 4000 requests for assistance. In 2009 our caseload will exceed that number by over 100%. The people we serve tend to be in lowest income brackets with pay grades E5 and below. Since this is the first war that the U.S. has fought with an all volunteer military, the care of the families becomes critically important. For 2008, these are a few examples of our contributions:
· $49,000+ in mortgage and rental assistance
· $15,000+ in grocery and food assistance
· $26,000 in auto repairs
· $15,000 in utility assistance
