The Army Community Service 60th Birthday Bash drew more than a thousand people to celebrate ACS’s 60 years of service to the military community. The celebration, hosted July 26 on the grounds of the Soldier Support Center, provided families with an opportunity to enjoy carnival games, connect with valuable safety and prevention information and resources, and get school supplies to help youth get ready to go back to school.

Every child in attendance received a free backpack filled with useful school supplies, which were earned by participating in the fun and games at the resource tables throughout the event. They also enjoyed bubbles, a bouncy castle, trackless train rides, a dunk tank, on-site radio, balloon animals by Gambol the Clown, and were able to check out the sights and sounds of police vehicles up close.  

For six decades, ACS has been serving the military community, providing valuable information, resources and assistance to help military families navigate the many challenges they face. 

The organization provides support through relocation assistance and helps families seeking to improve their financial standing or budget for upcoming milestones. ACS also helps families improve communication through couples’ classes and supports parents expecting their first child through the adolescent years, and everything in between. 

ACS is also there to help spouses find employment, to ease the strain of upcoming deployments, connect Exceptional Family Members with resources, and help volunteers find opportunities to connect with the community.
