FT. HOOD, TX - January 8, 2008 - USA Cares announced today that a second Regional Representative position has been created to serve the entire state of Texas. This is a yet another huge step for the Radcliff, Kentucky based organization, as it becomes the first call for military Service members and families across the Nation, and around the world.

Anne Crofford will represent the Texas region as an experienced team member from the organization. Anne worked in the Family Division at USA Cares' headquarters in Kentucky before making a Permanent Change of Station move with her husband in fall 2007. She is familiar with the processes and policies of USA Cares and is a perfect choice to represent USA Cares, a caring and compassionate organization ready to increase assistance in Texas.

Realizing the great value in the addition of regional representatives, Anne will work to assist clients in need from the 'Lone Star State' with the Texas desk in the call center in Kentucky. Closely watching the needs and concerns of the Service members in her area, Anne will be able to offer special support that not all regional representatives have access to. USA Cares, in 2007, responded to 517 military families in the state of Texas, with more than $159,000 worth of support. $72,000 dollars of assistance, over the last 24 months, has been in support of mortgage foreclosure.

With a grant from the Permian Basin Foundation, USA Cares is able to assist military members with mortgage foreclosure prevention and issues associated with home foreclosure. In the climate of mortgage trouble that the Nation is experiencing, this additional help validates USA Cares' commitment to the Troops.

"I am excited to have the opportunity to work for USA Cares as the Texas Regional Representative," says Ms. Crofford. "The experience I received in the Kentucky call center will be my foundation. The commitment I have witnessed in caring for these Service Members and their families motivates me in my new position," Crofford added.
