Treats For Troops, in conjunction with Support The Troops, Inc. sends out about ten tons in care packages WEEKLY to our Troops in remote war zones (incl. hospitals and Chaplains). The boxes contain everything from home baked cookies to microwaves, crock pots, coffee makers, snacks, toiletries, cards and letters, undershirts, socks, refrigerators in the death of summer when the water in their bottles can reach 120 degrees.

The rule of thumb is: if they didn't pack it in their backpack at time of deployment, they don't have it.

Most of these soldiers do not have access to a PX (store on base) and if they do, it can be a 5 hour helicopter ride away, accompanied by gun ships. If you take into consideration that it costs approx. $1.00 a pound to ship these boxes, it might not be a surprise that our postage bill runs about $60,000 a MONTH.

We launched "Operation Pocket Change" on Jan. 1, 2010  to ask the community to spare us their 'pocket or loose' change to help offset the costs for shipping.

If you support our Troops and would like to reach out, by putting a donation jar in your office, we would be most grateful. Our only objective is to support America’s best.

 

PLEASE SPARE US YOUR POCKET CHANGE. IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF SO MANY!

 

~Until they ALL come home. God Bless!
