In honor of Military Appreciation Month (Nov.), Comcast has partnered again with Operation Military Family, a veteran services and solutions organization committed to helping Veterans and their families forge new proven and effective paths that lead to success in family, work, and life. Comcast is donating $20,000, 200 laptops, and a digital skills guide to support military and veteran families in Washington.

“Our partnership with Comcast has been a game changer in helping veterans and their families in Washington get and stay connected. We specifically chose to partner with them again because of their incredible commitment to veterans and their desire to create programs which provide assistance in revolutionary ways, such as providing a beginner’s guide to using a computer and the internet with each laptop to develop digital skills,” said Mike Schindler, CEO of Operation Military Family.

“We’re proud to partner with Operation Military Family. This organization has made a powerful impact with Veterans across the state of Washington. And we are honored to help them build digital equity at a time when it has never been more important,” said Carla Carrell, External Affairs Senior Director for Comcast in Washington.
