STEP is the proud host of an AmeriCorps Volunteer Infrastructure Project (VIP) Fellow through our partnership with Jewish Family Services. Through 1,700 hours of service, our new team member is working to increase capacity within our volunteer program and provide the support, skills and resources volunteers need.

We look forward to sharing the results as we are able to reach further into the military community, helping those in financial crisis.

“Thank you for allowing me to be part of the STEP team… it truly has been an honor and a privilege to have (volunteered) for an organization that carries out such amazing tasks for current and former service members who deserve the utmost respect. I am so thankful to (be with) an organization with such kind, goodhearted & hardworking people.” - Gene

Gear Up For Baby Drive: Resulted in $32,000 in donations of critical baby gear and supplies.

Military Family Appreciation Carnival: Ensured 586 children left with carnival game prizes, bellies full of cotton candy, snow cones, popcorn and hot dogs, smiles on their American Flag painted faces, and tired legs from jumping up and down in the bounce house.

Cammies to College: Provided 435 service members and their families access to higher education resources.

Thanksgiving Dinners: Distributed 152 turkey dinners to service members and veterans.

Sharing The Joy: Connected service members and veteran families with community partners to create 1,100 new holiday memories.
