The Military Family Network takes information posted in the forums about new and ongoing programs and activities benefiting military families for its E-Zine distributed to thousands of military families and partners across the nation. This E-Zine is also sent through our news service picked up by media locally, regionally and nationally. MFN is one of only 4500 news providers to Google globally- so your organization is covered and has the opportunity of reaching millions each month. You will increase your visibility with Military Installation and Program Managers Since MFN is the only centralized community resource for military families on the Internet, many military and government programs link to the MFN website, subscribe to our E-Zine and distribute bookmarks and other printed material referencing our network as a resource for the community.
