Give Thanks to the Troops Who Have Fought for US



Send a thank you card to our service members and let them know you support them! Joining Forces has partnered with the USO to create a nationwide interactive thank you card. Just fill out a note and it will be added to a map along with messages from people all over the country, showing our troops and their families just how much we appreciate their service and sacrifice. If we each do our part, our veterans and their families will get the recognition they deserve this holiday season.

My rabbits started a Revolution!


With over 20 years of volunteer service, Cheryl Rafoth, leader of Critter Co-Op 4-H club, has made a positive impact on the lives of her youth club members.

RIP Andy Mackie - he inspired a generation of musicians and volunteers


Andy Mackie passed away last week and the world lost a friend. Andy worked with countless children on the Olympic Peninsula through his music, putting harmonicas, violins, guitars, etc. into their hands and encouraging them to express themselves through music. Andy also worked quietly behind the scenes with incarcerated adults, helping them grapple with the negative impact that abusing drugs and alcohol had had on their lives. Andy was committed to a clean and sober lifestyle and he supported others in their striving toward that goal. Thank you, Andy, for all your life's contributions. You will be missed.
