USO Hawaii strengthens the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families.
The USO is not part of the federal government. A congressionally chartered, private organization, the USO relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations, and corporations to support its activities, and is powered by a family of volunteers to accomplish our mission of connection. We rely solely on the support and generosity from the local community in volunteers, sponsorship, and donations to deliver our mission. We seek corporate sponsors to support the men and women stationed in Hawaii. If you are interested in sponsoring USO Hawaii, please contact Ashley Matejka, USO Hawaii Area Director at amatejka@uso.org.
