Programs

Collecting candy. Driving trucks full of cookies. Knitting hats. Donating old cell phones. These are a few ways that volunteers make a difference to our troops. Our programs work well in the workplace, civic groups, senior centers or places of worship. Whatever your passion or time commitment – we have a place for you.

Operation Shoebox provides many ways to contribute to our mission, all designed to fill boxes or fund postage costs. From collected used ink cartridges to donating old cell phones, many of our programs work well in the workplace, senior centers and places of worship. Businesses, scout troops and youth groups frequently host drives for candy, toiletries, snacks and games. Craft patterns for caps, Christmas stockings and ditty bags are available on the website. School teachers can explore volunteer opportunities for classroom settings, including our “Troops for Teachers” program that pairs a class with a member of the military.
