A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO



Welcome to Blue Star Families!



If you’re new here, welcome! I’m so happy you're here. Blue Star Families was
founded in 2009 by military spouses to strengthen and empower military and
Veteran families to thrive as they serve. We’re committed to connecting them
with their neighbors – individuals and organizations – to create vibrant
communities of mutual support because we firmly believe: we're all stronger when
we take care of one another.

The families of our All-Volunteer Force make unprecedented sacrifices every day
to serve our country. Our groundbreaking research is raising the nation's
awareness of the unique challenges of military family life – both during and
after service.

With the help of neighbors across the country, Blue Star Families is overcoming
the isolation and alienation of frequent moves, deployments, and reduced support
from the government. Our innovative programs are solving specific challenges for
military and Veteran families, such as fighting economic insecurity with
resources that foster spouse career development, address food insecurity,
building family strength with rich family programming, and provide critical peer
support for caregivers – whose numbers are only increasing.

With more than 275,000 members in our network, including in Chapters and
communities all over the world, Blue Star Families touches more than 1.5 million
military family members every year.

Through our research and program partnerships, Blue Star Families ensures that
wherever American military families go, they can always feel connected,
supported, and empowered to thrive – in every community, across the nation, and
around the globe.
