Central Ohio Servicemen's Family Support Group
for the families and loved ones of those serving overseas. 
 
Our first meeting was more healing than I could ever imagine. I believe that everyone left there walking a little taller and more secure.

Free childcare is provided at all meetings, and there is no cost or membership fee.
If you need any further information and would like help out and share with other service families,
please email us at:

We would like to start local meetings in other areas, so if you are interested in starting a satellite group, please email us at:



If you know parents or spouses of anyone serving in the military, please pass this website address to them, and let them know that this is a group being formed to help one another. There is so much power in sharing and knowing that you are not alone. The best way that we can take care of our boys now is to take care of ourselves (and keep sending letters and wonderful care packages). They are going to need us when they come home. Please pass this along to those in the Columbus area who have loved ones in the military, especially those serving overseas.


May God bless America and those who serve Her!

Please be especially careful opening and forwarding emails- a lot of virus writers take advantage of times like this to help circulate malicious viruses and worms, often disguised as polls, petitions, pictures, patriotic screensavers, and other war related subject lines. Be very careful opening any emails with attachments, and make sure your operating system and antivirus software have been updated.
