With the help of over 50 volunteers, USO Alaska crafted 3,000 holiday bags — one for each unmarried service member who is currently living in the dorms or barracks.
Each bag was filled with 27 items, including hot chocolate, Hot Hands hand warmers, and other goodies. They even contain homemade cookies made by the Elmendorf-Richardson Spouses’ Club, allowing each service member to have a touch of home in their bag.
“These are usually the first-term airmen, this is usually their first duty station,” Knaak said. “So, you get the 18, 19, 20 years olds — the ones living in the dorms and the barracks.” “With all the snow we’ve had, a lot of them are probably stuck in their rooms, they’re not getting out doing stuff that they would probably normally would,” said Knaak. “So I’m hoping they get something out of the bag. For instance, the Anchorage visitor guide.”
“As we know, they say 22 service members a day take their lives. We want to be there for them to make sure that they’re not doing something like that,” Knaak said
