Words cannot express how much we really appreciated the support we received!!! Every package felt like opening up presents on Christmas Day and it was a great morale booster. Even though we were doing our job, it made us feel even more appreciated receiving a package filled with love from a perfect stranger.
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.
