Support Our Troops is the official charitable cause of the Canadian Armed Forces and is administered by Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services.

It provides financial support and assistance to Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans and their respective families in a number of important and often life-changing ways that are not provided by government funding.

The impact that Support Our Troops and Soldier On has on families, and the ill and injured is life changing and meets the unique needs and challenges faced by members of the Canadian Armed Forces community as a result of their military service.

It allows supporters to show their care, compassion and support to former and serving members, and their families in a meaningful way.

Feature messages

Dear Soldier, I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your service and sacrifice. Your courage, dedication, and commitment to protecting our freedoms do not go unnoticed, even by those of us who may never meet you in person. Every day, you stand ready to defend values that matter deeply to so many people. Whether you are far from home or serving within our communities, your willingness to put others before yourself is truly inspiring. Because of individuals like you, we are able to live our lives with a sense of safety and security. Please know that your efforts are appreciated more than words can adequately express. Thank you for your bravery, your service, and your sacrifice. With sincere appreciation,
Astra


Dear Canadian Armed Forces Member, Thank you for all you do to protect and serve our country, providing millions of people with the luxury and privilege of living in our homes, going to school and walking to the grocery store without fear. We so often take for granted the people who sacrifice so much of their own to ensure us a prosperous future. I cannot fully put into the words the gratitude I have for your services, but please know your work and services are greatly respected and appreciated by everyone in beautiful Canada who is protected by it. I have immense respect and admiration for your dedication and kind hearts.
Penny, a Youth Central Volunteer
