Military Assistance Mission (MAM)

MAM focuses on members of the Arizona military by providing a financial and morale boost to Arizona service members, their families, and post 9/11 Purple Heart recipients.

We are all one big family, and until that service member can get home, we have to step up to the plate to support those left behind, says founder Margy Bons.

The group provides funds to families struggling to pay bills. The organization is especially well known for providing backpacks and school supplies to 1,000 children in military families.

On Dec. 19, MAM will provide holiday cheer to 1,200 Arizona military children through their Operation Christmas Giving program. Learn more at tucne.ws/mamxmas.
