Be the Warm Welcome for Military Families

You don’t have to serve to show up.

Every year, 600,000 military families move to new communities - often disrupting school, work and friendships. Blue Star Welcome Week is a series of events that helps families feel at home in their new cities. From outdoor adventures to beach days to coffee chats, it aims to give every military family the warm welcome they deserve.
