Fox News Channel is once again leading a national effort to honor America’s veterans by partnering with the nonprofit U.S.VETS for the sixth consecutive year on the “Make Camo Your Cause” campaign. The initiative, timed for Veterans Day on Nov. 11, encourages viewers to wear camouflage apparel and purchase branded merchandise, with all proceeds supporting U.S.VETS’ mission to end veteran homelessness.
Why the Campaign Matters
Veteran homelessness remains a tragic reality in the United States. U.S.VETS reports that thousands of men and women who bravely defended our freedoms now lack safe, permanent housing. The organization provides critical services—including emergency shelter, counseling, career development, and long‑term housing solutions—to help veterans and their families transition to civilian life with dignity.
How Viewers Can Help
Fox News anchors and hosts will be seen wearing camouflage on air throughout the week leading up to Veterans Day, signaling gratitude for those who served. Viewers can join the effort by visiting the Fox News online store, where a range of camo‑themed items—hats, T‑shirts, mugs, duffel bags, and more—are available. Each purchase directly funds U.S.VETS programs that provide housing, mental‑health counseling, job training, and other essential support services.
Impact of Past Campaigns
According to Fox News and U.S.VETS, the previous five years of the “Make Camo Your Cause” campaign have generated significant donations and heightened public awareness of veteran homelessness. The partnership has helped expand U.S.VETS’ capacity to deliver on‑the‑ground assistance, reinforcing the organization’s claim as the nation’s largest nonprofit with boots on the ground fighting this crisis.
U.S.VETS’ Core Services
U.S.VETS’ comprehensive approach includes:
- Emergency shelter and transitional housing to get veterans off the streets quickly.
- Counseling and mental‑health services to address trauma and promote recovery.
- Career development programs that connect veterans with job training, apprenticeships, and employment opportunities.
- Family support services that help spouses and children adjust to civilian life.
These services are funded in part by donations from campaigns like “Make Camo Your Cause,” as well as contributions from individuals, corporations, and community partners.
How the Campaign Is Promoted
Beyond on‑air appearances, the campaign will feature camo graphics on Fox News’ digital platforms, social media channels, and on‑screen graphics during news broadcasts. The visibility aims to keep the issue front‑and‑center in the public consciousness, encouraging more Americans to contribute.
Call to Action
Fox News invites its audience to demonstrate gratitude for veterans by purchasing camo gear, donating directly, or simply sharing the campaign’s message. By turning camouflage into a symbol of support, the partnership hopes to move the nation closer to a future where no veteran has to sleep on the streets they defended.
