Military and Family

The Military and Family Committee focuses on providing support and assistance to the Fort George G. Meade soldiers and their families and civilian community. The Alliance led the community effort to outfit the to-be-constructed new Solider and Family Assistance Center at Fort Meade in support of the wounded warriors. The Alliance also provides assistance with bulk delivery of monthly snacks available to the soldiers as they wait for their appointments. The FMA is now undertaking an effort to build a Resiliency Campus on Fort Meade.

The Transportation Committee focuses on the priorities that parallel the interests of the installation and the community regarding transportation needs and sees that these priorities are communicated to planners in each of Maryland’s transportation modes. The Committee produces a transportation guide on how to get to Fort Meade, which includes information on bus routes, MARC schedules, vanpools, bike routes and other transportation resources. The guide is updated regularly.
