"Kelly, what is an efficient(*) organization that takes cash donations and sends care packages to in-theater troops? I'm sure they'd do a better job than we could of assuring that actual EDIBLE goodies arrived.

(*-- as in, the money doesn't get bled out through administrative and fundraising costs)"


Pogo, understandably I am partial to "MarineParents.com"

Thanks. Looks like a great outfit.

The good sorts of people are coming together on the war. My boss's secretary, a mousy Japanese-American lady of high character but DEFinitely not a military sort? Her son is a 19-year-old Lance Corporal USMC now, and she is proud as heck. I could never do what he is doing, so I want to help in other ways.
