PLEASE KEEP IN MIND:
When shopping that our troops only have pockets and backpacks to keep their possessions in. Large items are too hard for them. They are also too much to ship. Think of it like you are walking in 140 degree heat in the middle of nowhere. How would you pack?
No pork products or pornographic materials
Please remember all holidays. It takes a month to get over so don’t wait until the last minute. We will try to do something special for all holidays.
Please donate only NEW items.
NOTE: Chocolate is only shipped from October to March due to the high temperatures in many locations.
ALL ITEMS MARKED WITH “*” MEANS WE ARE SHORT OF THEM. PLEASE HELP US WITH THESE ITEMS.
