Indianapolis, Ind. – June 30, 2015
The Armed Forces Families Foundation donated a total of $17,500 to the USO of Indiana, which was used to upgrade a heavily utilized center at Indianapolis International Airport and to provide the equipment needed to open a new center at the Indianapolis Military Entrance Processing Site (MEPS). Funds were raised in conjunction with local Taco Bell restaurants during their annual “Freedom Bells” fundraiser in an effort to help serve those who serve us.
“The USO of Indiana prides itself on providing the warmest of environments where our service members can relax, and feel connected to the people and places they love. We wouldn’t be able to bring our Hoosier hospitality to our military members without great support from the Armed Forces Families Foundation,” said Ridings.
Upgrades to the Airport Center include: New wood paneling and carpet, new refrigerator, a 75” HD Flat Screen TV, gaming chairs, and more. The new Indianapolis MEPS Center received a new refrigerated cooler, two X-Box one gaming stations with games, two gaming chairs, two recliners and a 39” TV.
The Armed Forces Families Foundation and Taco Bell are proud to support the Indianapolis USO and the good work they do. “Our troops’ loved ones are their first line of support. Taco Bell is proud to support our troops by supporting their families,” said Thaddeus Foster, a volunteer with the Armed Forces Families Foundation
