This website has where/who to send, their needs/wants. I know there are many wonderful websites to guide you on where to sent "your not forgotten" packages of support to our military. Feel free to post them. Please remember our military men and women this Christmas and send them cards/gifts or what ever you hearts tells you to (read the guide lines as there are some things not allowed). Allow shipping time as it takes weeks to get to them.

This year we are not giving gifts to family and friend. All money to be spend will be in "Thank you and Merry Christmas" packages to them. I encourage you all to do the same. Merry Christmas and Happy Thanksgiving!

Worthwhile BUMP!

My church does care packages. We get more requests for baby wipes than any other item.

Awesome site!

Here they have a list of soldiers spelling out where they are and what they could really use. List is on the left. Example:

17 Nov 2009: I am speaking on behalf of my Fire Support cell and this is personally my fourth trip to Iraq. The living conditions here are better than before, we have 220 electricity but require inverters to downgrade that to 110. Laundry is great so no problems there. Having small refrigerators for the living areas would increase the morale of my Soldiers, as well as some type of game system to play. All of my Soldiers are young and experiencing their first time in a combat zone. During their off time, all they talk about is how they wish they could play their Playstation 3 or X-Box 360. That would be the most special request of them all, game systems for my guys to play in their CHU's.

We would also like to request toiletries like deoterant, toothpaste, tooth brushes, dental floss, soap, playing cards, dominoes, ipods, starlight mints, air freshener, gerbers, other personal hygiene items, colognes, brooms and dustpans, microwaveable foods (popcorn, ravioli, etc.), movies, books, magazines, and any other morale boosters anyone can think of.

Receiving mail is the biggest booster I have experienced in all of my past deployments, and I know it would mean a lot to these young Soldiers to receive mail from someone that they have never met. That really lets us all know that what we are doing is appreciated, which helps us cope with being away from our families a little better.

Thank you.
Very Respectfully,
Christopher E. Dickerson, Sr.

I have been doing this for awhile. Last Christmas my wife and I received this Christmas card which we framed and hung on a wall from a 4th Infantry Division Unit we had been sending packages to.

Thank you. This means a lot to deployed members whose families don’t send anything.
