Backup for Military Families

"Looking to ease the burden on military service members and their families, dozens of local officials and community leaders have come together to create the Yellow Ribbon Network of Washington County.

Group members said they hope to facilitate the work of others by connecting local military families with those who would like to help them and by fostering more collaboration among a wide range of supporting organizations.

'We're looking to bring it all together, so there's a common, locally focused support network, instead of all these disparate resources scattered all over the place,' said Oak Park Heights Councilwoman Mary McComber, one of the group's founding members who is also active in the Blue Star Mothers military support group."
