The Greater Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce’s Military Affairs Committee is proud to present Home for the Holidays, in partnership with Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, the Marine Corps Security Force Regiment, and the Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown.

We invite you to join us in supporting this meaningful fundraising campaign, which provides travel stipends to service members stationed at U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown and U.S. Naval Weapons Station Yorktown — helping them spend the holidays with their loved ones.

We launched this program in 2021, providing stipends for 23 service members to go home for the holidays. Since the, the number of service members we have been able to support has steadily grown:

2022:  40 service members

2023:  45 service members

2024:  90 service members

2025:  145 service members

With your help, we’re aiming to break that record in 2026!

Every contribution brings us one step closer to helping our local service members make it Home for the Holidays.  We hope you will join us again this year!

Individual donations are welcome in increments of $25

Sponsorship opportunities are available.
