About The Thank You Foundation

Our Purpose and Mission

The mission of The Thank You Foundation is to show appreciation and express gratitude for members of the U.S. Military both past and present. We believe that saying thank you is not enough and that the words must be followed up with action and commitment.

Through programs and services offered by the Foundation and through strategic partnerships with the community at large, businesses, civic organizations, and other military related service groups, the Foundation strives to improve the overall quality of life of Veterans, Military Personnel, and their families by focusing and supporting efforts for Education & Employment, Health & Welfare, and Morale & Recreation for the community we serve.

The Foundation was started with the belief that the words "Thank You", could transcend political, religious, and ideological differences, to let those who have served or that are serving know that they are appreciated.
