It is no secret that Colorado Springs loves our military community. That's why we've created the Military Welcome Program, a central hub where servicemembers, veterans and their families can connect with local small businesses who offer military discounts on products and services.

Program Objectives

The City of Colorado Springs Military Welcome Program is designed to support our servicemembers, veterans and their families in three key ways:

Show Appreciation

One small way we can help to recognize the contributions and sacrifices of past and present servicemembers and their families is by providing them with easy-to-find discounts locally.

Build Community

Connecting servicemembers with local businesses encourages community-building and creates a network of support and unity within the City.
