For The Troops

Specialties

For The Troops’ mission is to send care packages to our front line troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. These packages contain such things as snack items, DVDs, CDs, batteries, personal care items and magazines, etc.

If you know someone serving our country in Afghanistan or Iraq, please request a We Care package with their name and address. We would love to send them a care package.

History

Established in 2006.

For The Troops’ mainstream focus has been providing care packages, encouragement, and appreciation to our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. This all volunteer, non-​profit organization was established in 2006 and has been going steady coordinating collection drives with schools, churches, service organizations, businesses, and scouting programs to furnish the care packages.

Items needed for packages are snack items, drink packets, neck coolers, socks, DVDs, CDs, batteries, TP, games, personal care items and magazines, etc. Please see the Troop Wish List for more ideas. As the donations flow in, assembly days are coordinated where volunteers fill the care packages with the donated items, including letters of thanks and encouragement from kids and adults, attach a name of a service member in active duty, and prepared to ship. Donated funds are used to pay the cost of postage on the boxes, which runs $ 10.35 per box.
