Project USO Elf
Project USO Elf
Project USO Elf is a wish list matching program that pairs our youngest patriots ages 1-15 with generous community and corporate donors to make their holiday dreams come true! Paired donors select gifts up to $50 from a military child’s wish list to be distributed at local USO Centers, decked out for the day with food, games, crafts, and tons of holiday spirit.
A few pieces of important information
- EACH CHILD MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY REGISTERED for this event. Please fill out the registration form for EACH child to be entered in the lottery.
- The number of children registered does not affect your chances of being chosen in the lottery. Please do not enter each child in more than once- this will not help your chances in the lottery
- Annual registration is open from mid-October to the beginning of November. Winners will be notified by the first week in November.
- This program is available to active duty service members, E-1 to E-6, stationed in the DMV only. Command referral may be accepted for higher ranks with special conditions.
