🇺🇸Before there was a national TV special, we would sometimes make videos of Dec’ the Deployment® outreach projects we would do. Check out this video created in 2018 when our Founder United States Air Force veteran Katelyn Tinsley was pretending to be a host on a TV show…Who would have ever thought it would lead to actually inspiring one?!✨
🎨Did you know that every outreach project we design across all of our brands has been completely unique, mostly handmade, and primarily created by using the art of up-cycling alongside a community of volunteers? 🙌The service members and families who reach out to our programs for help; participate and put their own personal touches on creating their homes. The creative outlets we facilitate help those to better cope through difficult life transitions.
❤️For Dec’ the Deployment®, we show up with handmade holiday treats 🍪 , a boom box of holiday music playing 🎶 and our Camaraderie in CHAOS support team. It is a holiday program that delivers the feeling of the season to many who may not be feeling it at all.
🎁For 7 years we typically provided in home personal support to 7-12 struggling service members and military families each holiday season. We integrate in old personal traditions that are shared with us, and also inspire some new through community . It has been shared with us multiple times that the best part of the program is having someone available to reach out to for an outlet that comes with conversations— and a community ear just to talk to, and also listen.
🎥The holiday special, Homefront for the Holidays, is airing on cable TV all weekend. We are hopeful someone at the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) sees the meaning behind the programs we started and the importance of scaling outreach programs to help so many more across the joint forces.
