As the federal government shutdown continues, military families around the globe are feeling the strain. While service members have received their latest paychecks, many essential on-base programs — from childcare and youth activities to morale and recreation services — have been paused.
For families who already juggle deployments, long hours and constant moves, these closures mean losing vital sources of community and stability. Many military spouses who work as civilian employees have also been furloughed, leaving households to potentially face unexpected financial hardship.
In times like these, the USO stands alongside those who serve — and the families who serve with them. We remain committed to providing essential programming and resources to meet the needs of our nation’s military community.
