Overview
Geographic Scope: United States
Focus Areas: Family activities and recreation during COVID-19 pandemic
Date Announced: July 27, 2020
Program Description
Emergency grants provided to help families of combat-wounded veterans plan safe recreational activities during COVID-19 restrictions. Due to social distancing concerns, WWFS pivoted from group resort and theme park outings to individualized family activities aligned with each family's needs and goals.
What They Fund
- Fishing trips
- Summer camps (wrestling, martial arts, Jiu-jitsu)
- Outdoor recreation equipment (pools, basketball hoops)
- Family-focused activities and experiences
- Activities supporting mental health and family bonding
Example Awards
- Tucker Family: Fishing trip, wrestling camp for oldest daughter, Jiu-jitsu lessons for youngest daughter
- Stiffarm Family: Above-ground pool and basketball hoop
- Allen Family: Technology grant for laptop (crossover with technology program)
Rationale
In response to COVID-19 pandemic, WWFS adapted from large group outings to smaller, family-centered activities that:
- Provided safe recreation during social distancing
- Supported mental health and family cohesion
- Addressed children's loss of school, friends, and normal activities
- Improved family morale during crisis periods
