Where do military families look for help when finding local businesses?

Every day military spouses and family members are in Facebook groups asking questions about the area around JBLM, local businesses and where to find things. A recently launched website created by Veterans is looking to help. They built, DiscoverJBLM.com. This is designed for service members and their families to find everything on and off JBLM easily.

The website that launched in November 2019 has had an amazing 70,000+ views since launch which demonstrates the need for information.

To help military families further, DiscoverJBLM.com has launched the "Best of JBLM." This is a survey which allows you to share the best places for them to visit or inquire about services. Why is this huge? They have almost 5000 JBLM area spouses in their Facebook group and they took the top questions that spouses especially are looking for and created categories for voting. These categories will also be added to DiscoverJBLM.com which will now allow them to easily find these places and share them to others.

They need your help. As someone local, you may have greater insight to the community and can vote to help them find our local businesses easier.
