Military Kids


Hero Packs

Hero Packs are a way for community groups to give military kids a big thank you for all they do and recognize these kids as heroes too.  Hero packs are stuffed with goodies from local, state, and national OMK partners by communities groups along with a letter of thanks and then given to military youth before a loved one is deployed.  Contact Barbara Brown to get hero packs in your community.
