MISSION – Our mission is to provide aid, comfort, and resources to the military and veteran community – no matter what that individual’s political or religious affiliations might be.
Give Back to Veterans Through Soldiers’ Angels
Support can mean a lot of different things to a military family. Sometimes it looks like groceries on the table, a care package downrange, a card in the mail, or a reminder that someone back home still cares.
That is the heart of Soldiers’ Angels. This nonprofit provides aid, comfort, and resources to service members, veterans, and military families through hands-on programs powered by volunteers across the country.
Who They Are & What They Do
Soldiers’ Angels is a national veteran support nonprofit that helps deployed service members, veterans, wounded, ill, or injured service members, military families, and caregivers feel supported in practical ways.
Their work is not limited to one type of help. Some programs send care packages and letters to deployed troops. Others provide food support, VA hospital visits, family resources, and caregiver encouragement.
Soldiers’ Angels supports the military community through:
- Deployed support: Care packages, cards, letters, and small comforts from home
- Veteran support: Food assistance, VA hospital support, and help for veterans facing everyday needs
- Military family support programs: Resources for families dealing with deployment, financial stress, or big life moments
- Women of Valor: Encouragement and support for female caregivers of wounded, ill, or injured service members
- Food assistance: Mobile food distributions, box lunches, pantry help, and meal support for veterans and service members
The Need They’re Filling
Military families and vets often carry needs that are easy to overlook. A deployed service member may need encouragement. A veteran may need groceries. A caregiver may need to feel seen. A family may need help during a stressful season.
The need is real and measurable.
VA News reported in 2024 that veterans are 7% more likely to experience food insecurity than non-veterans, while Blue Star Families’ 2024 Military Family Lifestyle Survey found that 1 in 6 active-duty family respondents reported food insecurity – rising to 1 in 4 among enlisted family respondents.
That kind of strain helps explain why food support, care packages, family resources, and volunteer connection can matter so much.
That’s where Soldiers’ Angels steps in. Their programs meet people in real-life moments – not with vague promises, but with food, comfort, connection, and steady support. These programs include:
- Food insecurity: Helping veterans and military families stretch their grocery budgets
- Deployment stress: Sending care packages, cards, and letters to remind service members they are not forgotten
- Veteran connection: Offering comfort and volunteer support to veterans who may feel isolated
- Caregiver support: Encouraging the people who care for wounded, ill, or injured service members
- Family strain: Providing military families practical support during difficult seasons

Why Soldiers’ Angels?
Founded in 2003 by Patti Patton-Bader while her son was deployed in Iraq, Soldiers’ Angels has grown into a national nonprofit serving many parts of the military community. Its programs reach service members overseas, veterans at home, families under pressure, and caregivers doing quiet work behind the scenes.
That reach is part of what makes the organization stand out. In 2025, Soldiers’ Angels reported serving more than 2 million service members, veterans, and family members, while also providing food assistance to more than 41,000 service members and veterans nationwide.
Those numbers show a mission built around both scale and practical care – from groceries and meals to letters, care packages, VA support, and caregiver encouragement.
Soldiers’ Angels offers a clear connection between giving and real-life support. As a recognized 501(c)3 veteran charity, the organization provides aid, comfort, and resources across the military community in ways people can actually feel: food on the table, encouragement during deployment, support inside VA facilities, and care for families carrying the weight of service.
Donating to Soldiers’ Angels may also qualify you for a tax deduction. The organization is tax-exempted with Tax ID 20-0583415, giving donors another practical reason to support care packages, food assistance, VA outreach, and family support programs for the military community.
