Our national defense depends on the health and wellbeing of these valued individuals. The Fort Meade Alliance and the Fort Meade Alliance Foundation, together with the Garrison, are focused on the five pillars of resiliency: emotional, physical, social, family and spiritual, as well as providing service personnel, their spouses and the DoD community with vital resources to help them thrive.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”About the 5 Pillars of Resiliency” style=”custom” custom_background=”#193059″ custom_text=”#ffffff” shape=”square” align=”left” css_animation=”none” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffmafdpd.wpengine.com%2Fthe-5-pillars-of-resiliency%2F|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”black”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1711731363517{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Our Efforts” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:center|color:%23193059″ google_fonts=”font_family:Merriweather%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3419″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Education and Resiliency Center” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23193059″ google_fonts=”font_family:Merriweather%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]The Fort Meade Alliance and the Fort Meade Alliance Foundation successfully raised $5.3 million for the construction of the Education and Resiliency Center at Kuhn Hall — which is a centralized location of information, programming and services for our Fort Meade community.
