Created in October 2020, TWS established Operation Emergency Fund to support military families in crisis. The intention was to create an emergency response mechanism that would offer financial aid in a confidential and rapid manner for those facing acute hardship.
To confront the needs of emergency housing, critical mental health services, emergency child care, or food security, TWS has worked closely with CAF Padres and Military Family Resource Centres to ensure that families in need of immediate financial assistance get the support they so deserve. To date, this program has assisted over 500 families across 22 bases Canada wide for a total of over $120,000.
In October of 2021 Together We Stand was proud to be named the official partner to the Chaplain network by Chaplain General Guy Bélisle.
