Honor Through Service
WHO WE ARE
American Gold Star Mothers of Southwest Florida, Inc., finds strength in the fellowship of other Gold Star Mothers who strive to keep the memory of our sons and daughters alive by working to help veterans, active duty service members, their families, families of the fallen, and our communities.
ACTIVITIES
Operation Very Merry 2024
This year marks our 7th year providing holiday gifts and family support to Veterans and their families across Southwest Florida. Because of amazing donors and volunteers, 2023 marked our largest Operation Very Merry so far. We were able to purchase gifts and supply gift cards for necessities to 3 Veteran families in Lee County (Parents, children, and furry family members too!) as well as provide gifts, favorite treats, and a wonderful Christmas meal to 20 veterans From Warrior Homes in Collier County!
Operation Very Merry is one of our core projects each year and we look forward to a wonderful year of giving in 2024!
HOW WE SERVE
With our organization’s mission always in mind, we offer material and financial support to veterans, their families, and families of the fallen. We provide education regarding patriotism, community awareness and the price of freedom.
