Thank You from a Marine: "I feel greatly blessed to have so many people thinking about the troops out here. I hope everyone that participates in this program understands how much of a joy it is to receive a letter or a package when you are so far away. Thanks again and God Bless."

The cost of shipping care packages to combat deployed Marines is $8.95 per package. To date, we have shipped almost 10,000 care packages totalling more than $180,000 in content and shipping costs. Your help is needed to fund the project. Thank you for your support!

In May of 2007 the US Postal Service increased rates for shipping the flat rate boxes by $0.85 per box. Which means we need an additional $850 minimum each ship dates. So, we're working hard right now to increase donations to meet this increase in shipping costs.

To involve your neighbors, friends, co-workers and associates, we have developed a brochure that you can print and hand to them requesting a donation.
