DEAR SUPPORTERS:

AS OF NOVEMBER 17, 2011 THE POST OFFICE WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTING MAIL FOR IRAQ.  WE ARE THRILLED THEY ARE COMING HOME BUT STILL HAVE THOUSANDS OF TROOPS DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN AND OTHER LOCATIONS AROUND THE WORLD AND WILL CONTINUE TO SEND CARE PACKAGES TO THOSE TROOPS. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THOSE THAT WILL NOT BE COMING HOME YET AND ARE STILL BEING DEPLOYED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!

Operation Shoebox on The Common Chef

Operation Shoebox has been featured in the Christmas episode of The Common Chef. The three chefs cooked Christmas dinner for the founders and their family, including two of their sons, Veterans of the Iraq war.

We wish all of the soldiers could have been there with us to enjoy such an amazing dinner.

Welcome to Operation ShoeBox. We were founded in 2003 in an effort to send support, snacks and much needed personal care items to our troops deployed outside of the USA and we encourage citizens to support their fighting men and women deployed overseas in these dangerous times. The most frequent response we get from the "boots on the ground" is that receiving mail from the home front is a huge morale boost!

Take time today to send a package. If you don't have a family member deployed overseas, check with your friends, colleagues, or church members to get the address of someone who is serving. If you don't know of a service member to send to please help us with a tax deductible donation today! We need your help to continue the much needed support of our brave men and women who sacrifice so much to keep us safe and free! Until they all come home...........

On behalf of all of the volunteers here at Operation Shoebox, we give our sincere thanks to Mr. Bill O'Reilly and his staff for the outstanding support of our troops and Operation Shoebox. Mr. O'Reilly goes above and beyond to assist us in getting the support over to our troops and never asks for any recognition for his work.

While you are here, we hope you browse the site and post a message in the guestbook that our troops might read! We are still going strong in support of our troops. We would like to thank everyone who has helped and continues to help us accomplish our mission! We couldn't have and can't support our troops without you!

Currently we are supporting a large number of troops and are calling on our past and present contributors to help us continue our efforts to assist our men and women deployed outside of the United States. We are in need of all the supplies that are on our item list and also of funds for postage. We will accept stamps, money orders and checks. You can also donate online using PayPal Donate Button on upper right side of page.

Even if you can't afford to send items or postage, we would be very happy to include your letters of support in packages to the troops. In all the letters that we have received from the troops, the one thing that is consistent is the importance of moral support from the homefront. Please join us in continuing the support of these brave men and women who serve us!

Our goal: A package for every soldier, sailor, airman, and marine. Please help us spread the word.
