I lost my job in July due to COVID-19, said Rachel Szabo, a military spouse.
She s been out of work for nearly five months. Szabo is the wife of a soldier with the 82nd Airborne Division. She picks up groceries monthly from Fort Bragg s Armed Services YMCA. The couple is expecting their first baby on Christmas Day. I ve always been someone who has paid for everything myself. Paid my way through school. Paid my own student loans, which I had a ton of. That s where all my unemployment goes. It s truly one income for us, Szabo said.
While service members often fight for our country, many of their families are taking on another battle during this pandemic: keeping their families fed.

Serving as a military spouse is not an easy task. In recent years, the addition of technology has made our lifestyle easier, especially when it comes to community connections. Back when I first began my journey as an Army spouse, we relied on each other through our Family Readiness Group, which was always only a phone call away. Every month we supported each other by celebrating birthdays, holidays and embracing each other as Family because after all, we each chose a common path in life, to join the Army Family.
