What is Operation Welcome Home?



Operation Welcome home is a special project
to raise $$ for the Oregon National Guard Emergency
Family Relief Fund.  Benefitting the families from
the Oregon’s 41^st Infantry Brigade and
Oregon’s 142^nd Fighter Wing.

 

Doing their duty away from family; helping
to establish democracy to a people who
have only known oppression; helping to
rebuild schools, women’s clinics, hospitals
and so much more.

For the past year, over 3000 Oregon
National Guard Soldiers have served Oregon
and America, performing their duty away
from home and family.  Now they return
home to restart their civilian lives all over again.        
                                                                     

The reality is, a very large percentage of
these soldiers will return home to no
employment waiting for them and this
puts a severe hardship on them and their families.
                            

The freedom we enjoy daily is because of
these soldiers service.  Past veterans and
current service men and women have
provided and continue to do so today.

In 2009, KUIK and our advertising partners
raised over $15,000 to help our local
National Guard Families.  And now that
these soldiers are returning home, we’re
going to help again!                          

Medical and utility bills, rent, mortgage
payments, home repairs, basic necessities
such as groceries and clothing… many of
the military families with soldiers returning
home will need some assistance and this is
why we need you, our listeners help.

KUIK and its listeners and advertising
partners care! 

What is the Oregon National
Guard Emergency Relief Fund?

The Oregon National Guard Emergency
Family Relief Fund
is a special program that provides
emergency funding to Oregon National Guard families
when they need it most.

The fund relies 100% on voluntary donations,
most of which are quite small, so KUIK would
like to team up with our listeners to help raise
more money for this very important fund!

With many Oregonians in the Guard, and the
economy in the state it is in, the
Emergency Family Relief Fund will be used
heavily this year, and they need as much
help as possible.
