Military One Coast, in proud partnership with Keesler Air Force Base, is thrilled to launch the Home Away from Home program.

This heartfelt initiative is designed to connect KAFB service members with local Host Families—community members who open their hearts and homes to help alleviate the stress and loneliness that can come with being far from loved ones, often for the very first time. Through shared hobbies, mutual interests, and meaningful connections, Host Families provide a warm, welcoming environment where our warriors can relax, recharge, and enjoy life beyond the base. 

Interested in becoming a Host Family or hosting as a civic organization? CLICK HERE!

Please email your completed application to Laura Benoit, Director, Gulfport Chamber; Liaison Military One Coast, laura@mscoastchamber.com
