What is so great about Candy Bar Bundles?
These yummy treats (Soldiers are always hungry!) come with a unique letter (everyone wants to feel special!) and their Chaplain’s contact information so when a Soldier is struggling with mental health, relationships, or any issues s/he can contact their Chaplain at any time of the day or night. Plus they are light enough a Chaplain can easily carry hundreds of Candy Bar Bundles at a time. Please consider donating to keep them flowing.

Our Chaplains love handing out Candy Bar Bundles to the Soldiers they are assigned to.
Why are they important? They carry his contact info so the Soldier can call any time of the day or night when they are struggling. Please take a minute to write a letter or type into the portal- www.operationempoweringhope, follow the Get Involved button.

Independence Looks Different from the Front Lines.
As we gather with family and friends to celebrate the 4th of July and our nation's historic 250th Year of Independence, the view looks a little different for thousands of American Soldiers. From the high-tempo training grounds to the remote landscapes of Alaska, and overseas deployments across Europe and the Middle East—our troops are standing guard so we can celebrate safely at home. They are far from their families today, but they are close in our hearts. This Independence

Where is your patriotism for those who are serving?
Letters provide a personal touch that digital communication cannot replicate, will you provide that loving touch for a Soldier? We combine your letter with a note that points the Soldier to their Chaplain for confidential counseling. Help us, help the Chaplains make a difference!

🧩 Sometimes, the Big Picture Feels Unsolvable. 🧩
Looking at the problem of Veteran and Soldier Suicide can feel a lot like staring at a scrambled Rubik’s Cube. It’s incredibly complex, overwhelming, and it can leave you feeling like you don’t even know where to start to make the pieces align. It's easy to think, "I'm just one person. How can I possibly solve this?" But look closer at this cube. Every single square represents a small, intentional action. A community coming together. A plant being swapped. A seed being plante

An early morning coffee
to start the day is common at many jobs. A Chaplain Coffee Bar makes that possible for a Soldier, plus it starts a relationship with the one person s/he can share his/her struggles with and it will not affect their military career. We need your help to make it possible. $200 a month covers one Chaplain Coffee Bar. Won’t you be part of the start to a relationship that brings hope to a Soldier?
