WELCOME!

We are moms in and around the Rochester, NY area who now have or have had sons and daughters honorably serving in the United States military.   Our mission is to support one another and all members of the Armed Forces and their families through a variety of activities and events.   We are strictly non-partisan and non-political.

ABOUT US

The Blue Star Mothers of America is a Congressionally-chartered, non-partisan, not-for-profit organization formed for the purpose of supporting America’s military, veterans, and their families, and to foster patriotism.  The Rochester, New York Blue Star Mothers Chapter 8 was founded on April 16, 2011.

We sent nearly 400 pounds of personal care items, snacks and valentine wishes to deployed troops in the Pacific, Afghanistan and a hospital in Kosovo in February.   It was possible because of heartfelt donations from a grateful community. 

THANK YOU ROCHESTER!!!!   You also can help by clicking the donate button!  Support the Troops!
