USO Bay Area Center

USO Bay Area provides high quality support to our men and women in uniform and their families stationed or living in Northern California:

•  Our three centers at San Francisco International Airport, San Jose Airport, and Travis Air Force Base were visited more than 50,000 times in 2014
• Our programs reached over 17,000 more members of our Armed Forces at 17 different locations

The USO continues to have a direct impact on those who serve our great nation:

 

• "The passion and motivation we witnessed were so heartfelt and genuine that words can't describe how proud we felt to be surrounded by such great and caring people." - a Marine 1st Sergeant, passing through SFO with his unit
• "[I had] been traveling alone to many places I had never been to before. But when I walked into the USO, I felt the most calm I had in days. They made me feel welcome and not so alone." - a young military spouse, traveling with a newborn child to an overseas duty assignment for the first time ever

And the USO continues to be a valued part of the lives of our troops:

• 90% say USO staff and volunteers have had a positive impact on them personally
• 94% feel the USO helps them feel normal in a less-than-normal environment
• 97% agree the USO boosts their morale and reduces their stress
