“Their heroism and sacrifice afford us the freedom we enjoy and safeguard the people and places we love. We are pleased to show our gratitude and support for veterans, active-duty military service members, and their families through our FOX Forward philanthropic initiatives as well as commemoration and recognition across our platforms,” executive chairman and CEO Lachlan Murdoch wrote in a memo to staffers prior to Veterans Day.

“During the pandemic, our FOX food service team has made a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of Angelenos. Our meal donation to the West L.A. Veterans Administration builds on our partnership earlier this year with Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti to prepare and deliver 80,000 meals for Los Angeles residents with disabilities,” Biard added. “Everyone at FOX is thrilled that our teams and resources have been able to help our community throughout this difficult time.”

FOX Forward is also working with Paws of War to support its Helping Heroes program, which provides meal assistance for veterans and veterinary care for their pets. Last week, FOX Forward hosted a volunteer event with Operation Gratitude during which employees built Paracord Survival Bracelets for deployed troops, first responders and medical personnel on the front lines of COVID-19 relief efforts.
“Not only will the bracelets remind the recipients of our appreciation for their work, they also can be used for a variety of purposes in the line of duty,” Murdoch wrote. “Our years-long partnership with Operation Gratitude has been rewarding for us and impactful for the veterans the organization serves. “
