<h4>Adopt-a-Unit (Central Texas AUSA)</h4>
<p>Through the Central Texas-Fort Hood Chapter of the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) "Adopt a Unit" program, over 500 Fort Hood units have been adopted by businesses, individuals, civic clubs, and communities of Central Texas since the program's inception. These organizations stay connected to Soldiers as well as their families who remain behind throughout the deployment.

<h4>Support for Children</h4>
<p>The communities of Central Texas piloted the "Living In The New Normal" initiative of the Harker Heights, Texas-based Military Child Education Coalition. The covenant speaks to partnerships that enhance strength and resilience for the children and families experiencing the stress of multiple deployments, severe physical and mental injuries, and the loss of a family member.</p>

<h4>Operation Restful Night</h4>
<p>To welcome the 1st Infantry Division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team home from Afghanistan, J.C. Penney donated $95,000 of bed sheets and comforters to USO Fort Hood. Nearly 2,000 sheets were placed on the Soldiers' beds so they will have a comfortable place to rest upon their return. Store employees from Killeen and Temple, families of brigade soldiers, and local volunteers then decorated barracks rooms and created goody bags full of snacks and toiletries to leave in each room.
