“Homeland Military Relief is a tangible way of saying ‘thank you for your service’.”

President, Caring Hands Ministries
The oldest veteran receiving a package was 85 and the youngest family member was almost 2 months old, too young to even suck on a drumstick. The program will continue to provide monthly food boxes to show appreciation and help active military and veterans in need. Read more about our veteran programs.
TOTAL FOOD DELIVERIES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
In partnership with Christian Relief Services, Americans Helping Americans® is providing 3024 frozen turkeys for the holidays throughout Appalachia.
Many don’t realize the plight of the working poor. Hard working families, many times working 6-7 days a week still have a hard time putting food on the table.
As an extra hand UP to these prideful families, we’re also sending 2,200 new winter coats, 2800 blankets and 3,500 toys for the holidays!
