Norfolk Public Schools’ Post

Today is LOAD day. That means my household goods (HHG) go on a moving truck today. **We’ve moved 3 of the past 4 summers. This is the third move in just 36 months.** My load team doesn’t start until after lunch, so I’m at elementary school celebrations with our oldest. (He is leaving his 4th school as he finishes 5th grade). Just to the left of this picture is 100 kids yelling and laughing and bowling and loving their last days together- many of whom are also military kids. **Our story is not unique. It’s like so many of our peers.** When I #advocate for quality of life for #militaryfamilies, I’m advocating for moments of stability and normalcy. Moments to attend field trips and create regular childhood memories. Because being a military family is hard enough without needing to worry about basic needs like putting food on the table. Sadly, for 1 in 4 active duty families serving our country, they’re balancing this chaotic life with the reality of #foodinsecurity (aka not sure if they can put enough food on the table tonight). **If you’d like to know how to help military families facing food insecurity, check out MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger, Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), National Military Family Association, Stronghold Food Pantry, or Military Family Advisory Network for the most urgent policy changes, community connection ideas, and latest research.
