Volunteer Spotlight: Cathy Howell Honored with Daily Point of Light Award for Supporting Military Families

The Global Volunteer Recognition Program is proud to celebrate one of our dedicated members, Cathy Howell, for being recognized with the esteemed Daily Point of Light Award — a national honor that highlights extraordinary individuals making a positive impact through volunteer service.

Cathy’s journey as a military volunteer and community supporter spans over two decades. From sending thousands of care packages to deployed service members to helping veterans access vital services, Cathy has made it her life’s mission to stand beside soldiers, veterans, and military families in both times of need and celebration.

Her work is deeply personal and rooted in a profound sense of gratitude and patriotism. As a volunteer for organizations like Operation Support Our Troops – America, Cathy has packed more than 14,000 care packages filled with love, comfort items, and encouragement for troops overseas. She also helps coordinate military appreciation events and supports programs that assist transitioning service members and their families back into civilian life.
