We no longer live in a world where families typically exist on one income. As the cost of living rises, both military and civilian parents struggle to feed their families, but military families are particularly vulnerable to economic downturns. The frequent relocations required of military service often leave families without immediate access to affordable child care, and military spouses lose out on career advancement opportunities, limiting their earning potential. These unique challenges frequently require military families to try to make ends meet on a single income.
To help junior enlisted families worry less about food and focus on mission readiness, the ASYMCA provides food assistance programs for military families at each of our local branches.
ASYMCA Alaska operates three “ASYMCA Marketplace” locations across the state and is available on a walk-in basis during business hours:
ASYMCA Hawaii distributes food through on-site “ASYMCA Marketplaces” and monthly Ohana Food Drops.
ASYMCA Fort Campbell‘s Food Assistance program operates out of the Armed Services YMCA Food & Thrift Store.
ASYMCA Fort Leonard Wood is in the process of launching a food assistance program.
ASYMCA Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) provides offers both a client-choice pantry in their office and a mobile food market to help shorten the distance to access food assistance for military families experiencing transportation challenges.
ASYMCA Oklahoma provides ready-made boxes of staple food items to military families at Fort Sill.
The ASYMCA of Hampton Roads provides food through the Patriot’s Pantry at the Virginia Beach location for service members stationed at Hampton Roads.
