CSX Pride in Service Supports Military Families
For six years, CSX has been a vital partner in Operation Homefront’s mission to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive, not simply struggle to get by, in the communities – OUR communities – they have worked so hard to protect. Pride in ServiceTM is CSX’s long-term community investment initiative to deliver the resources service members need—when and where they need it.
Rolling Out Relief
Operation Homefront and partner CSX joined forces recently to deliver an unexpected and impactful surprise to dozens of deserving military veterans and their families. Through the Rolling Out Relief campaign, the organizations covered one month of rent or mortgage expenses for a veteran in each of CSX’s 26 service states.
Want to get on board with CSX’s service mission? Your generous support will make it possible for military families to thrive—not simply struggle to get by—in the communities that they’ve worked so hard to protect.
