USO featured on local news in Yuma, AZ

Our USO team in Yuma, AZ recently celebrated National DOG-ust Month by partnering with the Humane Society of Yuma. For this month’s Preschool Power Hour program, local military kids and parents created handmade bandanas and scarves for shelter dogs at the Humane Society.

The story was picked up by the local CBS affiliate. You can see the story by clicking here!

We delivered the homemade items to the shelter help the dogs feel special on their birthdays. Nicole Hammerle, our USO Operations Specialist in Yuma, explained the significance of the event, “The first of August is the birthday for shelter dogs, so we wanted to create bandanas and give them to the Humane Society.”

Our USO Preschool Power Hour event also featured story time and snacks, making it a fun and meaningful experience for everyone involved.
