The organization’s vision is to “foster a culture where all military families can thrive”—recognizing that family readiness directly impacts military readiness, recruitment, retention, and resilience.
“Each of us has experienced the unique challenges that come with military life. Five & Thrive is our way of turning those struggles into action—and creating a culture where military families are seen, supported, and set up to succeed,” said Pam Peterson, Director of Community Engagement, Five & Thrive.
A shared commitment to strengthening military and Veteran communities made joining the NVBDC MVO Task Force a natural fit.
“Both of our organizations are dedicated to supporting Veteran and military communities, especially through economic empowerment and resource sharing,” Peterson added. “By collaborating, Five & Thrive can help broaden awareness about Veteran business certification and create meaningful connections that support Veteran entrepreneurs, while supporting community resilience for Veterans and their families.”
Five & Thrive supports all branches of the military, including active duty, Guard, Reserve, and Veteran families. Through their monthly SITREP newsletter, digital resource toolkits, and signature events like the One in a Million Walk/Run Challenge and QX Convos, the organization connects families to trusted information, spotlights real stories, and advocates for meaningful policy change. Their Thrive Guides, tailored to each military branch, offer practical, location-specific solutions that help military families navigate everyday challenges with confidence and clarity.
The NVBDC MVO Task Force is dedicated to creating strategic alliances with organizations that serve the military and Veteran community. By working together, these partnerships help amplify certification awareness, provide access to corporate contracting opportunities, and support long-term economic advancement for Veterans.
