History
Since 1941, the USO has lifted the spirits of America's military and their families. Bob Hope USO, which serves military members from throughout Southern California, is a 501(c)3 non-profit operating under a charter from USO, Inc. We receive no funding from the government, Department of Defense or even USO Headquarters. We rely 100% on charitable donations from patriotic Americans and philanthropic organizations.
Specialties

Admission: We welcome active duty and reserve troops, as well as dependent family members. We also welcome, on a space available basis, military retirees and their dependent family members. All must present valid military identification. For health and safety reasons, we occasionally need to limit center access when we reach our occupancy limit.
