Active Duty and Military Family Support
When a member of a family serves in the military, the whole family serves as well. We hope to provide resources for both the active duty servicemember and their family in their journey to serve their country.
Care Packages
With the generosity of the community, our members and others; we are able to send care packages to the troops in need. These include special packages at the holidays to send love and reminders of home as well as packages to fulfill specific needs of deployed troops.
The need is always great and support is appreciated.

Our Community Salutes
Our Community Salutes (OCS) is a national, non-profit organization helping communities recognize, honor and support high school seniors who plan to enlist in the U.S. Armed Services after graduation.
OCS was founded in 2009 by educator and former U.S. Army officer, Dr. Kenneth Hartman, to provide enlistees and their parents with guidance, information, resources and community support from like-minded enlistees and parents as their son or daughter transition into military service.
Our Community Salutes includes community leaders, government officials, educators, businessmen, and veterans who feel strongly in the importance of community support and recognition of the patriotic young adults who will enlist in the military after graduation.
Our Community Salutes was founded in 2009 with our inaugural OCS of South Jersey community.
