Programs
Our Team is constantly working to update and evolve our programming to best meet the ever-changing needs of our families. It is important to us that we grow with our families and their busy schedules. We know our families face great challenges after losing their service members and our approach is always holistic. We place a great emphasis on financial stability and overall wellness. As such we try to provide programs and opportunities that help our families achieve these goals.
Virtual Library
We know our families are busy, so to best equip them with resources, tools, and more support, we are now recording our various workshops, information sessions, and seminars. Registered families will be able to access these recordings at their leisure. For any questions or to learn more about the library contact our Admin@thesugarbearfoundation.org.
