FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (Feb. 11, 2014) – Operation Homefront today announced that it received a $50,000 contribution to assist with food distribution to military families during the recent holiday season. The grant – which was given to the non-profit organization through the Walmart Foundation’s State Giving Program – helped provide gift cards to military families in Tennessee and Kentucky who needed assistance purchasing food for holiday meals.

“Thanks to the Walmart Foundation, our annual Holiday House in December not only helped military families shop for gifts, but it ensured every family left with a $50 or $100 Walmart gift card to help pay for food,” said Tina Englen, Operation Homefront – Tennessee/Kentucky’s Executive Director. “It was a needed addition to our program this year, and we are very grateful for the grant.”

A national nonprofit, Operation Homefront provides emergency and other financial assistance to the families of service members and wounded warriors. Operation Homefront has met more than 750,000 needs of military families since its inception in 2002, including financial assistance, emergency food, emergency home repairs, and more. This year’s Holiday House in Oak Grove, Ky., served about 600 military families living in the Fort Campbell region.
