USO Home for the Holidays
While the holidays are a time for family traditions and togetherness, they can also be a time of extreme hardships for our military community. Our winter holiday support includes: The Night Before Thanksgiving Dinner at USO Great Lakes, support for military unit holiday gatherings located throughout Illinois, and 24-hour USO Center support at USO Midway and USO O'Hare as military make their way home on holiday leave.
