Shali Center provides First Class service to deploying Soldiers

One of the most important and rewarding volunteer opportunities that occurs at our Shali Center is when our soldiers and airman deploy overseas. The volunteers at our JBLM Shali Center are proud to represent our nation and provide that last “Thank You” to our service members before they depart for faraway places.

Located between McChord’s Passenger Terminal and the building where deploying troops are assembled, the center is ideally positioned to support the many Army and Air Force units deploying. A cup of coffee, a cold soft drink, and a hot meal are always appreciated.

While some deployments happen when the center is open, often volunteers will come in at all hours of the day, including the middle of the night, to happily prepare a meal and serve our military members.
