Topic: Supporting Military Families Through Operation Homefront

In today’s episode of Veterans Hour, we welcomed Colonel Scott Arcuri, USAF (Ret.), Vice President of Field Operations at Operation Homefront, to discuss the organization’s mission and impact on military families. Since its founding in 2002, Operation Homefront has been dedicated to providing relief, stability, and long-term support for service members, veterans, and their families.

Col. Arcuri shared insights into the challenges faced by military families, from financial hardships to housing instability, and highlighted Operation Homefront’s key programs. These include Critical Financial Assistance for emergency expenses, Transitional and Permanent Housing programs to ensure stability, and family support initiatives like the Back-to-School Brigade and Holiday Meals for Military.

We also explored the broader issues of military transition, financial stress, and the importance of community involvement in supporting those who have served. Listeners were encouraged to get involved through volunteering, donations, and advocacy to help ensure that military families can thrive in the communities they’ve worked so hard to protect.
