10 Great Ways to Show Support for Military Families

Write notes, send texts, and spend time together. You do not have to do something big, just be encouraging. Let them know that you have not forgotten them, appreciate their service, and care. 

When a family member is deployed, ask the rest of the family about how they are doing. If you’ve already put in the effort to spend time with them and get to know them, they will be more likely to give you an honest answer.

You can also let them know that you are willing to pray with them, if they would find that helpful. Don’t be pushy, and be considerate of their feelings if they say no. But some military families will be encouraged by your prayers.
