Thank You from a Marine:
"We don't have much out here so to receive a package, especially from someone who doesn't know me, is really special. There is one Marine I know that doesn't get much. If you have the resources, please send him something even in place of mine."
PFC Jack, 2d LAR Btn

Marines at forward operating bases in Iraq and Afghanistan do not always have access to purchase needed items such as toiletries, food, paper, pens and reading materials. We ship between 700-1000 care packages each ten weeks to Marines in combat zones. Our database grows daily as Marines send us names of their comrades who are not receiving mail or care packages. We need your help with costs. When you sponsor a Care Package, we'll put your name inside the care package(s) received by the Marine(s). See the photo and description below for an example of what your package(s) may include.
You can select a one-time donation for 1-100 Marines, or a 6-month commitment for 1-100 Marines.
- One-Time Donation Click Here
- 6-month Donation Commitment
Our 6-month commitments are handled through a subscription with PayPal online. Each month, for 6 months, you will receive notification that a subscription payment is due. The payment is then processed through PayPal and fowarded to MarineParents.com, Inc. A receipt will be sent for each payment you make for the 6-month duration.
To donate each month for 6 months, click your selection below, and you'll be taken to our secure PayPal shopping cart to complete your order.
