The care package drive is starting soon.
We would love your help to reach our goal of collecting items and making care packages for the troops. Currently, our inventory is VERY low on almost everything. We really need your support to collect items and donate so we are able to purchase the rest of what we need and pay for postage. We are looking to raise $20,000 to be able to fill 500 Care packages.
Please see our list of requested items below to see how you can help. These package, filled with LOVE from HOME are priceless.
We know we can count on you to help us reach this goal! Donate Here
