WEEKLY ORGANIZATION SPOTLIGHT
There are numerous organizations who provide valuable assistance and resources to military families. Each week, I will highlight one such organization.
This week’s organization: Code of Support Foundation (COSF), https://www.codeofsupport.org/
COSF’s unique programs help transform military and veteran lives. While there are tens of thousands of resources available to those who serve and have served, finding and accessing them can be fraught with barriers. COSF helps those in need navigate and access critical services by providing one-on-one support. Through a digital PATRIOTlink platform and direct case coordination services, COSF connects veterans and caregivers to the people and resources they need to live full, healthy lives.
CAMP CORRAL FREE SUMMER CAMP OPPORTUNITY FOR MILITARY KIDS - REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
Over the last 12 years, Camp Corral has served more than 30,000 military-connected children from across the country. Their one-of-a-kind program is tailored to address the most common needs and concerns of military children to include finding peer connections, creating support systems, building confidence, and learning coping skills. Children who participate in their programs experience adventure, test their limits, challenge their fears, celebrate their accomplishments, and make life affirming friendships that assure them they are not alone. Camp Corral is open to children ages 8-15 who have a guardian that is a wounded, ill or injured military/veteran. This is a one-week summer camp that is NO COST to the families.
