This year, the United Relief Foundation's annual 'Tis the Season of Service campaign responds to the pandemic induced isolation, food insecurity, and basic needs amongst our vulnerable veterans.

Launched on Veterans Day, 'Tis the Season of Service is a dedicated campaign focused on supporting veterans, men and women, through the holidays.

By taking added safety precautions, volunteers reach out with hope and help in the service of an increasing number of veterans in dire and desperate need of both.

The 'Tis the Season of Service campaign ends on December 31st and is part of the Foundation's Rapid Response Initiative that comes to the aid of veterans, men and women, in need at a critical time on a moment's notice.
