Created by Vets for Vets, Onward Ops Bridges Military-to-Civilian Gap, Empowering Active Duty & Veterans With Tools, Resources, Mentorship & Google Technology to Build Interpersonal Relationships Central to Thriving After Uniformed Service

The Expiration Term of Service Sponsorship Program (ETS-SP), a national non-profit organization bridging the gap between military and civilian life, announces a collaboration with Google Public Sector to incorporate the full suite of Google Workspace applications into the newly launched Onward Ops military transition support program. Empowering transitioning service members and their sponsors with best-in-class collaboration tools and data security facilitates the interpersonal relationships central to a successful return to civilian life.

Annually, nearly 200,000 service members transition from the military into civilian life. Existing federal transition programs provide information regarding available services and benefits but not how to navigate thousands of potential options. Pairing service members with trained sponsors from destination communities and empowering them with tools like Google's real-time collaboration features successfully closes this gap, helping them work together on critical tasks from filing disability claims to drafting a resume. Onward Ops provides the information and resources needed to plan a successful transition on a single, secure platform, informed by best practices across the Veteran support space and validated by Veterans who have successfully made the return to civilian life.

"We're thrilled to bring the magic of Google to the mission of Onward Ops, supporting transitioning service members, connecting them with resources and sponsors with the help of Google Workspace," said Karen Dahut, CEO of Google Public Sector. "This partnership is an opportunity to use technology to help active-duty service members from all branches successfully complete the journey out of uniform and into their next chapter as Veterans." 

The Onward Ops program assesses each enrollee's individual needs and develops a personalized holistic transition plan across domains ranging from healthcare and social needs to employment and education that he or she then uses to achieve their goals. Utilizing Google's on-demand insights via world-class analytics, Onward Ops can analyze localized metrics to determine the Veteran's specific needs and appropriate services and monitor progress and outcomes.

"We chose Google Cloud and Workspace due to their high standards of data security, brand awareness among veterans and service members, collaboration tools and Google's commitment to veterans," said Brigadier General (ret) Mike Eastman, ETS Sponsorship Executive Director. "Google's support of America's military is apparent in all they do from bringing Workspace to our active-duty force to their veteran job search capabilities, SkillBridge program and so much more."

The Onward Ops program is on track to enroll more than 24,000 transitioning service members and their families over the next 12 months. Enrolled service members and sponsors receive Google Workspace Enterprise accounts at no cost for the duration of their personal transition program.

People can give back to transitioning service members and military spouses by volunteering as an Onward Ops sponsor at OnwardOps.org. Communities interested in joining our network can email leadership@OnwardOps.org. For news and updates, follow FacebookTwitter, Instagram and LinkedIn

About ETS-SP:

The ETS Sponsorship Program, in a public-private partnership with the Veterans Administration, supports communities across the country in the successful reception and transition of service members out of the military and into civilian life. Through the Onward Ops military transition support program, it connects transitioning service members to destination communities at all levels through a secure, common-data platform augmented by trained volunteer sponsors to set conditions in the community for a positive, proactive return to civilian life.

National Donut Day is Friday, June 2, and LaMar's will be partnering with The Salvation Army to host an annual fundraising and community engagement event. Each participating LaMar's location will also be giving away free donuts to everyone who visits a store.

National Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday of every June — a tradition dating back to 1917, when Salvation Army volunteers known as the "Donut Lassies" made donuts for soldiers on the front lines of World War I. In celebration of this tradition, LaMar's will be partnering with The Salvation Army to host its 9th Annual National Donut Day fundraising campaign. The campaign will be hosted by various LaMar's locations nationwide, and it will include free donuts, donations to The Salvation Army, and community engagement with local police and fire departments. The goal of this campaign is to spread joy and give back to the community, just like the Donut Lassies did over 100 years ago.

This year's National Donut Day fundraiser will be a celebration unlike any other. In addition to raising funds for The Salvation Army through donations, LaMar's will match all online donations made during the week of May 28th. Each participating location will be handing out free Ray's Original Glazed donuts to customers, along with LaMar's National Donut Day t-shirts, while supplies last. LaMar's will be partnering with local police and fire stations, who will volunteer their time to hand out the free donuts and t-shirts to community members at select participating locations.

In addition to celebrating the holiday at LaMar's stores, The Salvation Army will be delivering thousands of LaMar's donuts to the Denver and Aurora Police Departments as well as locations in Kansas City, MO, Omaha, NE, and Wichita, KS, for National Donut Day. Staff and members of the Army, along with Aurora police officers, will also hand deliver donuts to veterans at the VA Medical Center in Aurora, CO. The Salvation Army brass band will be at the medical center at 10 a.m. to perform and celebrate the national holiday.

"The Salvation Army's tireless mission to keep children clothed, sheltered, and fed is an enduring reminder that we need to do what we can to support our community members," shared Temi Osifodunrin, LaMar's Director of Marketing and Advertising. "LaMar's is thrilled to be spreading joy to our communities on National Donut Day, just like the Donut Lassies did for soldiers during World War I."

To receive a free Ray's Original Glazed hand-made donut on National Donut Day, LaMar's customers must simply visit their local store. For customers who can't make it to a LaMar's location on National Donut Day, LaMar's will also be mailing out "Share the LaMar's Donut Day Love" cards to community members in surrounding neighborhoods. These cards can be used to redeem one free donut with a hole and a small coffee. Specialty donuts & coffee will be available but will incur an upcharge when used with the card.
