Is the USO Puget Sound a separate entity from USO Worldwide?
Yes. The USO Puget Sound Area (USOPSA) is a separate affiliated entity under a charter granted by the United Service Organizations, Inc., headquartered in Washington, D.C. Under the USO Charter, the USO World Headquarters authorizes the USO Puget Sound Area Board of Directors to operate within the jurisdiction of the Puget Sound region, and to fulfill the mission and objectives of USO in providing services to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. The USO Charter sets standards for our operations and USO World Headquarters validates our nonprofit status.
