2022 ANNUAL REPORT

We were away from our location for a 30-day intensive training. I have just started opening some boxes that were sent in November. As we have returned from our training, which was very intensive and demanding of the Soldiers, seeing all the care packages and opening them up for the troops, Christmas items, and general snacks have been a HUGE lift to their spirits! Many have asked where I get all the snacks and things from and are so grateful for all the support from various Patriotic Americans. God Bless, and thank you again!

Dear Soldiers’ Angels Supporters,

None of us will forget Russia’s attack on Ukraine in early 2022. Not only did this event spark an uptick in the mobilization of our Military forces in support of our NATO allies, but it also sent a powerful reminder of the sacrifices of all those who valiantly serve our country and our obligation to support them and their families back home.

For Soldiers’ Angels, 2022 was also a dynamic year, in part, because with the gradual relaxation of COVID restrictions, we, through the support of our Angel volunteer network and our corporate partners, were able to reach more Service Members and Veterans in person than any time in the past two years.

By the time third quarter rolled around, it truly felt like the floodgates of generosity had opened. On top of the outpouring of love and support from our long-time supporters, corporations were feverishly booking events that benefited Soldiers’ Angels, companies were encouraging employees to volunteer at our in-person events again, and VAs began to loosen their COVID restrictions allowing more volunteers back to support Veterans. We also saw greater visibility of our efforts reflected in the media.

We reached a new audience when President and CEO Amy Palmer was invited to appear on ABC’s Live with Kelly and Ryan, where she discussed the services provided by Soldiers’ Angels and shared with viewers from around the world how others can get involved. Other highlights include Soldiers’ Angels being featured as one of the nonprofits on the huge NASDAQ billboard in Times Square for National Nonprofit Day, and when our work to support food-insecure Veteran families was highlighted by dozens of local news stations across the country.

As you will see on the pages of this report, with your love, unwavering support, and dedication to our mission, our programs thrived in 2022. Highlights of a few of the programs include the following:

• Providing 36,000 Veterans with food assistance across the country through our food distribution efforts;

• Mailing more than 190,000 letters and cards in 2022 to deployed Service Members, Veterans, and Caregivers;

• Celebrating 10 years of the Home of the Brave program by supporting Veterans in 131 VA Hospitals across 46 states and Washington, D.C.;

• Registering a record 16 breweries to our Hops for Heroes campaign and participating in the Great American Beer Festival as a featured nonprofit;

• And launching new impactful campaigns like the Military Working Dog Campaign to honor those dogs and their handlers keeping our nation safe and secure.

All told, more than 877,000 Service Members, Veterans, and family members were supported in 2022 — all because of supporters like you who continue to contribute your time, money, and effort to ensure No Soldier Goes Unloved.

As we continue to emerge from the COVID years, we are excited about the future of Soldiers’ Angels providing resources to our deployed Service Members and Veterans with your continued support. With grateful hearts, we thank you for your kind and generous time and donations and we look forward to partnering with you to enhance these services to our Military and Veteran communities during 2023 and beyond.

Thank you,

Phyllis Jo (PJ) Baunach, Amy Palmer, President & CEO Chair, Board of Directors
