For too long, rural military and veteran families just outside Fort Bragg have been overlooked when it comes to resources and community support. That changes on September 6th. Operation Honor: Rural Salute™, together with Grand Canyon University, is bringing the first-ever Back to School Bash & resource event directly to Eastover/Stedman. No long drives. No being left out. We’re meeting families where they are — in their own community. Salem Methodist Church, Eastover NC 10 AM – 3 PM What makes this day special? Free food, fun, and school-year celebration 🎒 Kid-friendly activities, bounce house & games 🎉 Local resources and vendors finally brought into this rural area 🤝 A chance to connect, belong, and build community 💙 This isn’t just an event. It’s a statement: our rural military families deserve to be seen, celebrated, and supported. We’re calling on community partners, local businesses, and organizations: join us, sponsor, or bring your resources to the table. We still have some space! Let’s make sure these families know they’re not forgotten.
