Team Freedom Cares celebrated the 10th anniversary of our Rucksacks to Backpacks campaign. The company, employees, and business partners donated $90,000 to the USO to provide new backpacks and school supplies for over 4,000 children of active-duty military, National Guard members, and Reservists.
From July through August, we partnered with nine USO centers to assist with packing and distributing backpacks and school supplies. Over 50 of our employees volunteered to ensure thousands of military kids were geared up with the needed supplies for a successful school year.
"We are grateful to Freedom Mortgage for their support and partnership with the USO," said USO Northeast Region President Rebecca Parkes. "Together, we bring great joy to military kids and families across the United States as they get ready for a great start to the school year."
Freedom Mortgage supported military kids through the following USO Centers:
- Bob Hope USO
- USO Arizona
- USO Dallas Fort Worth
- USO Indiana
- USO Metro NY
- USO Metro Washington
- USO New England
- USO of Greater Jacksonville
- USO of PA and NJ
