  • Mission

    Blue Star Families is the nation’s largest grassroots military family support organization. It was founded by military spouses in 2009 to empower these families to thrive as they serve. We're committed to strengthening military families by connecting them with their neighbors – individuals and organizations – to create vibrant communities of mutual support. Chapters were purposefully built with a specific and measurable social impact goal: improve military families’ sense of belonging to their local communities. The Puget Sound Chapter will work with local organizations and programs to focus on these outcomes: Belong: Drive cultural and systemic changes in the community and increase a sense of belonging. Engage: Lead local civil-military integration with engagement, volunteerism, and diverse program options. Welcome: Build local chapters with representative membership, partnerships, infrastructure, and sustainability.

    About Us

    Our Blue Star Chapters are here for you every step of the way to provide virtual and in-person support in the form of exclusive events and resources. No matter where you are on your journey, let Blue Star Families serve as your home away from home.

    Our Puget Sound Chapter was launched on August 29, 2023 with the goal of providing virtual and in-person support in the form of exclusive events and resources.

    We facilitate engagement opportunities that create a dialogue between military and civilian communities, which can help foster awareness and understanding of military lifestyle challenges. Together with our neighbors, Blue Star Families is building thriving communities. We consistently bring engagement, resources, and support to our members in Puget Sound.
