USO Holiday Support
No one likes being away from family, friends, and traditions for major holidays. That’s why we try to make it easier through special events in conjunction with major U.S. holidays…
Many of these – such as Halloween – are geared toward the younger audience, but there are plenty of happenings the big kids can enjoy, too. From Valentine’s Day care packages to 4th of July Kids Craft Kits to unit holiday party support, the USO has you covered.
For scheduled holiday programs, visit Iowa.USO.org/events.
To request Holiday Support for your unit, email our staff at Iowa@USO.org.
