 In 2010 we will build upon the success of existing SFS programs to incorporate synergistic products, services, partnerships and initiatives that will benefit active duty armed forces, our injured, ill and fallen military, our Veterans, and their families.

 Our targeted beneficiaries of new 2010 SFS programs will include Veteran non-profit organizations whose charters embody service to active duty Armed Forces, injured or ill Veterans and their families as well as Veteran organizations dedicated to reintegration, education and workforce investment for our military when they return home.
The success of our Gift Card Program, which undoubtedly could generate significant funding for numerous Veteran related non-profits, relies heavily on participation of Sponsors including Big Box Retail, Grocery, Restaurant and Small Business.
As many of the proposed Beneficiaries do not solicit donations or, as per their charter, are unable to incorporate funding strategies such as the SFS Gift Card Program, it is the goal of SFS to facilitate funding for qualifying organizations through Sponsors that would like to support these types of non-profits.

COMMUNITY FOCUS, SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
|
|
Our Sponsors, in addition to supporting our sister and brother non-profits, will also support new SFS initiatives surrounding re-integration of our returning Military. These programs will encompass continuing education, workforce investment and developmen and employer outreach programs designed around Social Entrepreneurship and Asset-Based Community Development modalities that will benefit our Veterans and their families.
As our society and government continues to strive towards economic recovery and reinvestment in this Country our Military can take an active leadership role within their respective home cities, towns and communities. As a precursor to development of these types of programs a robust core infrastructure could be built and maintained through a Military Web 2.0 presence (social network) on the internet in conjunction with Veteran Workforce Investment and Development programs that support initiatives introduced through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
These types of forward thinking models could really benefit our younger generation, regardless of their demographic, and those residing in unserved or under-served urban and rural markets. Military returning from active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan -- as well as Veterans from ALL wars -- could participate through these programs to provide for services ranging from Mentor/Protégé social/educational components to Mentor/Student type programs like STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to training surrounding Digital Access, Inclusion and Literacy programs for unserved, under-served or impoverished families.

These types of modalities will also invite private sector employer outreach for our returning Military and qualifying Veterans that will funnel down to the beneficiaries (youth, students) of the aforementioned programs. When you tie in local assets such as Libraries, Community Colleges and K-12 you end up with support mechanisms and vehicles that bolster economic, social and community development.
We will welcome any Sponsor that would like to support these types of initiatives either locally or nationally so please email us or call the Command Post with any comments, suggestions or proposals on how SHopping For Soldiers could be of benefit to your Community or Organization.
