Operation Homefront understands the financial challenges that the holiday season can bring for veteran families.
The national non-profit organization also recognizes that many active-duty military families are separated during this time due to deployments and others travel long distances to be together.
In 2025, a Holiday Meals for Military event in Montana— which was funded by a grant from the Town Pump Charitable Foundation —benefited several families from Malstrom Air Force Base and the Great Falls community, said Beth Desloges, a development manager for Operation Homefront.
“As you can imagine, requests from our military families increased this season — in some cases by over 50 percent,” Desloges said. “Thanks to your support, we were able to provide food relief to 75 families from Malstrom AFB and the Great Falls community. On behalf of the military families that we serve, thank you for supporting the program this year. Holiday Meals for Military is Operation Homefront’s way of saying thank you for the service and sacrifice that you have made for our country.”
Since the program began in 2010, the Holiday Meals for Military program has served over 825,000 individual family members.
In 2025, Town Pump Charitable Foundation provided a $10,000 grant to support Malstrom families with Holiday Meals.
