Soldiers and Families First was started by two retired Nevada National Guard Families soon after our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. In those days, the State was not doing very much to help the Soldiers and Airman who were deploying - particularly the families that had problems with rent and the reduced income that Guard troops experience when called to active duty. They also sponsored children of Guard troops to attend Summer Camp. I am a retired Army CSM and first heard about this small charity from Sergeant Major of the Army (Ret)(Deceased) George W. Dunaway. I worked with him trying to raise community awareness of the good works of this no overhead organization. They now obtain and furnish bicycles, diapers, donated items such as furniture and appliances to those active duty and veteran populations locally. They have recently started a limited food pantry. The best part of this small charity is that the military service member does not have to go through the embarrassment of the paperwork drills required in official channels. They have helped many in uniform though their efforts.
