Many Service Members struggle to put a holiday meal on the table each winter. With the average cost of holiday gifts totaling roughly $900 annually, it’s easy to understand why.
Wish for Our Heroes recognizes the unique challenges military men and women experience. With the Feed a Family Holiday program, W4OH strives to give back to those who dedicate their lives to protecting our freedoms by providing them a warm holiday meal.
Through this page, service members can request ingredients for a holiday meal either for themselves or place a nomination for a military family in need. These requests will be processed by volunteers at Wish for Our Heroes. Approximately 100 families will be identified to receive a Holiday food basket.
Applicants who are selected to receive ingredients for a holiday meal will by notified via email along with more details about basket pick-up. Applicants who are selected must RSVP to accept their basket; if no RSVP is received, another family will be contacted to receive the basket.
On December 18, 2024, from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM ingredients for a holiday meal will be distributed to the selected families at the location specified in the RSVP email.
Please provide the requested information about yourself and the family you wish to nominate. Be sure to tell us a little bit about the family and why you believe they are eligible. Please note, our supplies are limited — nominees are not guaranteed to receive ingredients for a holiday meal. Multiple nominations are allowed, but please keep the number of nominations to 5 or less! Pick up Location options are: Lackland AFB, Ft Sam Houston (specific location to come).
