Ep. 96 - The Heart Behind Operation Homefront: Real Support for Military Families

Season 1 Episode 96

In this episode Maura chats with Jenny Valderas, Senior Director of Family Support Services at Operation Homefront, a non-profit that’s proudly supported America’s military families since 2002.

Jenny explains how Operation Homefront offers relief and recurring support programs aimed at preventing short-term challenges from turning into long-term hardships. She also highlights their Military Child of the Year® program recognizing the resilience, leadership, and service of military‐connected children and explains how this fits into the broader mission of service, honor, and community for military families.

From emergency assistance and back-to-school initiatives to transitional housing and youth recognition programs, this is a must-listen conversation for any military parent, spouse, or advocate who cares about the strength and future of our community.
