I don’t think I can afford to do a care package this year, but is there a place where I can donate some time?
I’m in the Austin area, and this moron is motivating me to do what I can to help out.

Contact your local USO, or donate money to them.
The USO keeps offices in most major airports. They offer a place for military travelers to stow their luggage if they need to, a place to sit and watch TV or surf the internet. They also have an assortment of snacks and drinks. All military personnel need to do is show some ID and sign in on the guest list, and there is no charge for the services or snacks.
I believe they also provide services to military members deployed overseas.
I have benefitted from USO facilities while traveling. And when not traveling, I donate to them.
Check with the American Legion and VFW posts in your area.
