Join us to Do Your Part!
You don’t have to serve to show up.
Each year hundreds of thousands of military families move to new communities, and many make these moves every two to three years. Rebuilding your local network often can take its toll. Yet when community members step up to offer a helping hand, it not only shows military families we are grateful for their service and sacrifice, it allows them to build the networks of support that are crucial to their well-being.
No action is too small or too large to make a difference for military families. From welcoming a new family to your child’s school to volunteering time with a local Blue Star Families Chapter, there are many ways to support military families in your community and help them thrive! Join us by committing to Do Your Part for military families today!
Participate in Blue Star Welcome Week
Each fall, we’ll be popping up in communities across the country to welcome military families who recently moved. Get involved by hosting a block party, sharing on social media, or exploring ways to welcome a military family.

Blue Star Families
When you give, you help strengthen military families in impactful ways — career support for military spouses, programs that create joy for military kids, and local events that build strong communities where they live.
Join the Do Your Part Everyday Americans Network
Military families make sacrifices every day for the safety of our nation. Let’s show them we care by activating to support them. Together, we can change the way communities show up for service members and their families.
Let's work together to support our military families.
