Sponsor a Soldiers’ Angels Military and Veteran Food Distribution

When you sponsor a food distribution, you help provide a critical need to Service Members and Veterans.

As the demand for food assistance among military families and Veterans continues to rise, Soldiers’ Angels remains committed to providing crucial aid through our Military and Veteran Food Distribution events. These events not only supply families with essential groceries, often as much as 75 pounds, but also create a sense of camaraderie and support among those who have bravely served our country. By sponsoring a food distribution, you will directly contribute to reducing food insecurity and help build a stronger community for Veterans and active-duty Service Members in need.

What Is a Military and Veteran Food Distribution?

Soldiers’ Angels hosts monthly drive-through food distribution events in six cities across the country. Each location serves 150-250 low-income, at-risk, or homeless Veteran families, supplying them with up to 75 pounds of groceries at no cost.

Companies who sponsor a food distribution bring their employees to help give back.

In 2023, due to inflation and the increase of food insecurity among lower-level active duty families, Soldiers’ Angels expanded the event to also support active duty Service Members, Guard, and Reserve Members who may be struggling to put food on the table. These events are essential for alleviating food insecurity and ensuring that Military-connected families receive the support they deserve.

The first Soldiers’ Angels food distribution event was hosted in San Antonio in 2015 and the program has since expanded to support Atlanta, Georgia; Charleston, South Carolina; Dallas, Texas; Denver, Colorado; and Orlando, Florida.

It is the goal of Soldiers’ Angels to continue expanding these food distributions to other cities that may have a high population of Military and Veteran families and also experience higher rates of food insecurity due to food deserts and lack of public transportation.
