BOCA
RATON, Fla., July 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Freedom Mortgage, one of the largest full-service,
independent mortgage companies, and a top Veterans Administration
(VA) and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) lender in the
U.S., has started its twelfth annual campaign to support the
United Service Organizations (USO) and its Rucksacks to Backpacks
program that provides necessary school supplies for many children
of active-duty military, National Guard members, and Reservists.
Funds raised through the campaign support critical USO programs and
services, including Rucksacks to Backpacks, which enables children
in grades K–8 to pick the school supplies they need at distribution
events at various USO Centers across the country.

Rucksacks to Backpack school supplies drive to support the
USO
"We are proud to work with the USO again to help provide school
supplies to children of military families across the United States for the twelfth year," said
Stanley C. Middleman, president and CEO of Freedom Mortgage. "Each
year, this campaign creates so much excitement for military
families and their children, knowing they will be able to start off
the school year prepared. We are excited to kick off this campaign
and aim to exceed last year's donations."
The Rucksacks to Backpacks program benefits military children
across the U.S., in locations such as Arizona, southern California, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, New York,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas (in the Fort Cavazos and San Antonio areas).
USO locations will provide back-to-school supplies and
distribute them locally this July and August to help meet the needs
of military families with children. Over the years, Freedom
Mortgage has donated over 31,000 backpacks and more than 70,000
school supply items, including pens, notebooks, and folders for
military children.
"We are grateful to Freedom Mortgage for their support and
partnership with the USO," said USO Regional President Rebecca Parkes. "Together, we bring great joy to
military kids and families across the
United States as they get ready for a great start to the
school year. The USO thanks the employees, customers, and
leadership of Freedom Mortgage for their support of service members
and their families."
Freedom Mortgage invites everyone to join in and make an online
monetary donation before August 31 to
support the USO's programs and services, including the USO's annual
Rucksacks to Backpacks program, by visiting here
