Round Up for the USO and AMVETS!

We take great pride in supporting our military. Nothing brings greater pleasure than to meet and greet the veterans who visit our store so often through the Iowa Veteran’s Home, or to shake the hand of active duty personnel working or training at the Iowa National Guard’s nearby Camp Dodge.

Now we ask your help.Through December 31, 2015, YOU can help us help the veterans and active duty personnel, with a donation to the USO or AmVets.

Round up your total purchase to the nearest dollar (or more, if you’d like) at all U.S. Bass Pro Shops locations. The money collected will be divided evenly between the USO, which supports deployed service members, and AMVETS, which supports our veterans. Bass Pro Shops will also donate to the total amount.

The AMVETS organizations first began assisting veterans in the mid 1940s as our World War II veterans began to return home. They helped them obtain the benefits promised them by the federal government.

AMVETS helps veterans and their families in many ways. One of the most visible of which is their network of national service officers accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs. With programs like the Warrior Transition Workshops for male and female veterans, and resources for treatment counseling and other assistance, AMVETS provides that hand of support veterans need for when they return.

Bass Pro Shops has partnered with the USO for the past several years. Started in 1941 by President Franklin Roosevelt, the USO gets help to those who need it most: troops serving in combat, their families, our wounded warriors and their families, and families of the fallen.

The USO fulfills its mission of lifting the spirits of America’s troops and their families through an extensive range of programs at more than 160 locations in 27 states and 14 countries, and at hundreds of entertainment events each year. Thousands of USO volunteers do everything possible to provide a home away from home for our troops and to keep them connected to the families they left behind.

The USO is not part of the U.S. government, but is recognized by the Department of Defense, Congress, and President of the United States, who serves as Honorary Chairman of the USO. A nonprofit, Congressional-chartered, non-political, private organization, the USO relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations, and corporations to support its activities.
