Description

Blue Star Families is a Lifestyle Organization. We believe our nation is strongest when the families of those who serve are thriving. For that reason, we are committed to telling their stories and bringing communities together to address the challenges that come with military life. Your support would make a significant difference in the lives of these families.

On December 8, 2024, Blue Star Familes will host its annual Stars, Strips, & Holiday Wishes Christmas event. This event supports the military's junior enlisted families, wounded warrior families, and Gold Star (members who have lost their life while on active duty) families.

Stars, Stripes, & Holiday Wishes recognizes the Military Child and the sacrifice they make being  part of a military family. Every year, Blue Star Families hosts this event to celebrate our littlest heroes. We are looking forward to hosting more than 350 people at this event. This year we are adding  Santa’s Workshop to the holiday fun. Santa’s Workshop is an area where children will be given play money and the opportunity to “purchase” a gift for a special person in their life. These presents will be wrapped in gift bags decorated by the children.

We believe that Community Partners like you are vital in helping Military families overcome the challenges of settling into a new community. Please consider donating Store Merchandise to be added to Santa’s Workshop or Gift Cards which will be used to purchase items needed for the kids to shop. This is a free event, and there will be no charge for any items donated.
