The best part of this project was seeing the faces of the kids who received one of our Deployment Kits from Mrs. Pence yesterday. Last week, Mrs. Pence and the Congressional Club worked together to pack 500 With You All the Way! Dealing With Deployment Kits for military kids who currently have a parent deployed. Yesterday, Mrs. Pence and our nation’s senior military spouses delivered the kits to military kids at Fort Carson. Before Mrs. Pence delivered our Comfort Kits, she shared her support in a speech to military spouses and offered words of encouragement. You can view that speech as well as see her interview with Cuzzie on Fox & Friends at https://www.facebook.com/thecomfortcrew.   

On September 6, 2018, Mrs. Pence will host an event at the Vice President’s residence to pack 500 With You All the Way! Dealing with Deployment Comfort Kits. She is inviting the Congressional Club to join her for this event to support military children and their families. The following week, Mrs. Pence will distribute the Comfort Kits to military kids at Fort Carson, CO. We are grateful for the generosity of our sponsor, Veterans United Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Veterans United Home Loans, for sponsoring this project. Thanks to additional sponsors – the Barry Robinson Center (Norfolk, VA), ABC Bank (Colorado Springs, CO), and the GBS Group (Virginia Beach, VA). Their support has made it possible for us to provide these valuable resources to military kids and their families who are separated due to deployment. Please check back for updates and photos following this event! Press Release – September 4, 2018
