Sending Love, Comfort, and Essential Items to Those Who Serve Our Country

Sending Love and Comfort To Our Heroes

We understand the importance of showing our support and appreciation for those who have served our country. We’ve been honoring our heroes since 2003 and have been thriving with the support of our amazing volunteers. Our Care Package Program provides a way for individuals, groups, and organizations to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our military and veterans.

Whether you’re looking to send a single care package or host a group event to create many boxes, we’ve made it easy and rewarding to give back.

create your care package in 3 Easy Steps

STEP 1: Pick a theme

When creating a care package, choosing a theme can help make it more personalized, meaningful, and fun. Here are some ideas:

Step 2: Review The Shopping List

Now for the exciting part – shopping! Review our shopping list to make sure all the goodies you want to send are approved. You’ll find a list of the most requested items and most needed items by our soldiers.

We make sure all care packages meet the needs and wants of our soldiers. Our list ensures that the items are useful, appropriate, and well-received.

Step 3: Drop or Ship It To Us

Once you have collected all the items and assembled the care package, it’s time to ship it to us. See our address below and we recommend using a flat rate box from USPS to ensure affordable shipping costs.

Note: If you want the box to arrive at a certain time, for example, for Christmas, you must ship your boxes to us two months in advance.
