22nd Year of Supporting Our Troops! We do accept donations to send care packages to military bases overseas. For safety reasons, we do not share names or addresses of our adopted units. The deadline for receiving donations is November 21 to give our volunteers time to sort and pack for mailing the first week in December. This allows for the two-week shipping time to overseas bases and to arrive in time for Christmas. We will not ship items that have expired or have been opened.

If you would prefer to help us with postage to get the packages overseas, please visit our website for instructions on how you can make a financial donation. This is one of our largest expenses!

Merry Christmas!
