About USO Palm Springs International Airport

Location:

210 North El Cielo Road, Suite 102, Palm Springs, CA 92262, US

Mission Statement

The mission of the USO is to strengthen the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families.

Description

Since 1941, the USO has been the nation’s leading organization to serve the men and women in the U.S. military, and their families, throughout their time in uniform. From the moment they join, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, the USO is always by their side.

Today’s USO continuously adapts to the needs of our men and women in uniform and their families, so they can focus on their very important mission. We operate USO centers at or near military installations across the United States and throughout the world, including in combat zones, and even un-staffed USO service sites in places too dangerous for anyone but combat troops to occupy.

The USO at Palm Springs provides a convenient sanctuary for service members traveling to and from a nearby military base to destinations nationally and around the world. Active-duty Marines serving at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) near Twentynine Palms, located about 60 miles northeast of Palms Springs, are the primary customers. Our local Palm Springs volunteers work every day to provide a taste of home in-center and through outreach base support to assist our troops as they serve our nation.
