For Partners
MFANetwork distribution partners help get PCS Pantry Restock Boxes directly to military families and provide resources and support services to those in the Fort Cavazos community.
Military families move every two and a half years on average. Frequent moves offer incredible benefits, like travel and cultural competency. But, as identified in our research findings, these moves also present challenges to families’ financial stability and emotional well-being as they settle into their new community. MFAN is committed to standing with military families every step of their journey.
Through our PCS Pantry Restock Box, we hope to alleviate some of the burden families experience during a military move.
