Is the USO or similar organizations going to do a "care package drive" like they did at the beginning of the war? I remember they collected at the grocery store etc and had a list of preferred/needed supplies.

I did an advanced google with "care packages" in the first line and "USO" in the
second (specific line)...and got plenty of hits.
Perhaps this URL is the pertinent one:
http://www.usocares.org/USOCares.htm

I vaguely recollect that my brother donated to the programs...I think they were
sending out a care package for each $25 donation.

visualops,
I just adding adding information in response to your inquiry...and bumping for any
newcomers...

Perhaps this URL is the pertinent one: http://www.usocares.org/USOCares.htm

Additionally, there is an page for donations to the USO Care Package program at this URL:
http://www.usocares.org/donate.htm

If folks hit the "donate online" link, they'll see they can get a USO care package
sent for each $25 donation.

For folks who don't have personal contact with service personnel (and hence
the necessary Military Address), the USO care package program is a good, efficient
way to do something good.
