Blue Star Welcome Week

10/6/2022

​Stroller Warriors® Running Club recently collaborated with Blue Star Families in their nation-wide Blue Star Welcome Week campaign— hosting running events and inviting neighbors from the civilian community to run with their local Stroller Warriors chapters.  Founded in 2009 by military spouses, Blue Star Families aims to empower military families to thrive as they serve.  The organization offers ample resources that aid military and veteran families with the transition into a new community.

Why is Blue Star Welcome Week Important? The average military family moves three times as often as their civilian peers with most PCS moves occurring during the summer months of June, July, and August.  According to the 2021 Military Family Lifestyle Survey, only 30% of active-duty respondents feel a sense of belonging to their local civilian community. More than 70% of families live off the military installation in their local civilian communities, and they do not feel a keen sense of belonging to those communities.

​Blue Star Families support for the military community reaches beyond the Welcome Week campaign—offering resources for hard to navigate areas of military family life that include, but not limited to military spouse employment, childcare, education, family support, financial assistance and wellness, food assistance, health and wellness, housing, LGBTQ+ Military and Milkid resources.
