Dear Friends,

Ten ago this coming month, we did our first volunteer event at the Armed Forces Retirement Home-Washington. Although the Covid-19 pandemic and closed access of the Home campus limited us in 2020 and 2021, we were able to hold the traditional July 4 and Fall Fun festivals and send holiday gifts. 

We are hopeful in 2022 to return our past in-person volunteering, community festivals such as July 4 and Fall Fun Fest, and pilot access walking and biking. 

Your financial support makes this possible.

Click “donate” on friendsofsoldiers.org or send a check to Friends of the Soldiers Home, P.O. Box 3170, Washington, D.C., 20010.

If you are a federal worker, retiree or member of the military, please select #56535 to donate through the Combined Federal Campaign.

Thank you so much for your support and have a wonderful holiday season.

Save the Date: Fall Fun Fest is September 26th!
