If you're looking to invite to your house for christmas dinner or something like that. All basses have a single sailor or soldier program established by the MWR department. Also there are former military in VA hospitals that wouldn't mind a kind person to spend a little time with. There are many single ill former military in VA hospitals. Check into volunteer programs at the VA hospitals.

Contact your local military base and they have lists for that. We have had several single airmen for Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner and it was great for them and for us.
