Hello, Our organization, Operation MoM, is hosting our 2nd annual golf tournament to raise money for the troops. We are looking for companies or individuals who would like to sponsor a hole, donate items for goody bags and raffle prizes or pay to play.
verybestbaking.com is from Nestle and has a link for baking for troops.
Hi! My work is hosting a drive in July to collect items for the troops. Does anyone know where I can send them to get to the troops? Please e-mail me at kdawson AT aquahab.com
Thanks!
You can check out http://www.anysoldier.com. It has links to anymarine, anyairman, and anysailor, also, and connect civilians on the site with unit representatives so we're given someplace specific to send care packages to. It works really well!!
We are an organization that donates care packages to troops over seas. Our board of directors have at least one family member or friend over seas. I am a veteran myself and know how nice it is to receive packages.
My daughter's combat medic unit recently deployed to AFGH and has 300 soldiers in her unit. They are building from ground up and there are no stores nearby. They need help. They will be in tents for the year and there are 20+ soldiers per tent and ONE LIGHT. So booklights are high on the list along with hygiene items. I will keep up with this forum and check out all of the suggestions. I am also AZ State Rep for ASA, America Supporting Americans. ASA connects thousands of units wth sponsors and cities. so if you would like to know how to get involved visit www.asa-usa.org. I also have started a Cause on FACEBOOK and would love for you to post your stories.. apps.facebook.com/
Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
I am the new FRG Leader for the Charlie Co. of 1-82 ARB in Ft. Bragg, NC. I was wondering if anyone had any idea about which companies donate to troops going overseas? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I belong to Thrivent Financial for Lutherans which is a financial services membership organization. Every year we do a program called "Join Hands Day" where we collect items from the area Lutheran churches, pack them up and send them to our service people overseas. We also take monies that has been dontated to buy phone cards that have a "local" number to call so that the minutes are not used as "international" minutes.
I'm sorry I don't know companies that can help. I make greeting cards and send them to soldiers in Iraq. Soldiers can sign up on AnySoldier.com and then Americans or anyone can get the address and see what they need. Soldiers love to get cards or anything people want to send. I don't personally know any soldiers serving now, but I get names of people from my state or with my last name or my maiden name. One time I saw this person who had the same name as my father and sent him a letter. They usually respond if they have time. Usually the person listed is in charge of the packages, etc.
So you could make soldiers either over there now or going over aware of the anysoldier.com site and they might receive more attention. Sometimes schools, churches, companies or community groups will pick a group of soldiers to support.
Good luck with your efforts. God bless our soldiers everywhere.
I am looking for web sites, companies or individuals that are willing to donate several X_Box 360 to send to my son and his platoon. They had one but in the sandy conditions they had to take it apart to clean it and it broke and that was the only one they had. PLEASE HELP!
Contact your local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)they will help you. These men and women have served the US in times of war and they are almost
always willing to help. Also stores donate to VFW
and they may be able to get a few for you. Just
call one and ask.
