About the USO
Supporting America’s troops was the first mission of the USO. In 1941, as it became clear that the nation was heading into World War II, several organizations mobilized to support the growing U.S. military: the Salvation Army, Young Men’s Christian Association, Young Women’s Christian Association, National Catholic Community Services, National Travelers Aid Association and the National Jewish Welfare Board. President Franklin D. Roosevelt created synergy among these agencies by forming the United Service Organizations, with the objective of providing the emotional support the troops needed.

Over time, the USO has evolved, developing new programs and services to meet the ever-changing needs of the troops and their families, while holding fast to the original mission.Today, the USO continues to lift the spirits of America’s troops and their families and will continue to be there for them until everyone comes home.

Free Programs Offered at USO Northwest Florida
Bob Hope Legacy Reading Program: Service men and women can visit more than 60 USO centers in airports, community locations, military medical facilities, and overseas bases to read a book aloud while being recorded on DVD. This recording, the book that is read and a personal note are sent to the service member’s family while they are deployed. Recordings are scheduled by e-mailing: usonorthwestflorida@uso.org 

Operation USO Care Package: The USO launched Operation USO Care Package to provide the comforts of home in the form of a care package. Operation USO Care Package is the only program of its kind recognized by the White House and the Department of Defense due to the program’s strict adherence to security requirements. Learn more.
