Comfort for America’s Uniformed Services (CAUSE)

Cause began its outreach shortly after the advent of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003 by providing personal care items and clothing to wounded soldiers arriving at Walter Reed from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Research has shown that recreation and entertainment are vital to the healing process, especially for those injured in the prime of youth. Cause steps in with programs designed to bring comfort and recreation into the lives of military men and women taking a long journey back to health.

Today, Cause programs reach hundreds of injured service men and women facing months of medical care and rehabilitation far from home and family.
