Family Events

These FREE USO programs offer a welcoming environment for currently serving military and their families, creating new memories after missing birthdays, graduations, and other significant life events.

Spring Scavenger Safari
Military families enjoyed a scavenger hunt, animal-themed games and crafts, and won prizes at the Milwaukee County Zoo in 2022.

Operation Baby Shower
Since many of the military families don’t have extended family nearby to give them a shower, the USO hosts a shower for expectant and new moms.

Operation Holidays
One of our largest programs, with over 400 guests, provides families in need with gifts to give their families. At the party, children’s crafts are available, along with holiday games, food, and visits with Santa Claus.
