1. GET TO KNOW THE USOGET TO KNOW THE USO
• What does the USO stand for?
United Service Organizations
• When was it founded?
In 1941 as a non-profit 501-c3 agency
• What is the mission?
To lift the spirits of America’s troops and their families
• What is its vision?
To be the go-to organization for providing the support
to troops and their families that they so richly de-
serve, creating an emotional bond between the USO,
the military, their families and the American people.
For nearly 75 years, the United Service Organizations (USO)
has supported our nation’s service members and their
families. Committed to helping America’s troops whenever
and wherever possible, USO volunteers assist thousands of
individuals each year. The USO of Georgia, Inc. is a not-for-
profit organization that is responsible for USO operations
and services in Georgia.
The members of the Armed Forces are “America’s sons and daughters”
serving our country in peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts around
the globe. Each year, USO volunteers work tirelessly to support them.
The USO exists to help troops and their families thrive and overcome
the challenges of military life. Those who serve and protect us deserve
our gratitude and support.
The USO receives no Federal government funding. It is dependent upon
donations to fulfill its mission. Donations are tax-deductible under
the 501(c)3 designation. Phone cards, bottled water and monetary
donations are always needed. Contributions can be made to:
