Many military children wake up with little to no gifts on Christmas morning because their families are struggling to make ends meet.  For so many of these heroic families the holidays can be a stressful, disappointing time...especially for families of troops deployed over Christmas.

This holiday season, in addition to the care packages we send to the troops, we have launched a special project to say thank you to the families of deployed service men and women for their sacrifice by helping provide Christmas gifts for them and their children.

Ways To Get Involved...

We are gathering toys, games, movies, books, etc. for children of deployed troops as well as gifts for the parents here on the homefront. 

*Used toys and clothing in good condition are also welcomed.

Gift cards are the easiest way to donate and the most inexpensive to mail.  Gift cards are also great for the older teenage children.  Some examples of good places to get gift cards for our military families:

Wal-Mart;  Target;  K-Mart

 

McDonald's;  Burger King;  KFC;  Sonic

 

Pizza Hut;  Denny's;  Ihop;  Subway;  Bob Evans

 

Bed, Bath & Beyond;  Linens & Things;  TJ Max

 

Best Buy, Circuit City

 

Blockbuster;  iTunes;  Borders;  Barnes & Noble

 

Words of gratitude and support are some of the most important, valuable things troops and their families can receive.  It helps them keep going and energizes them throught the difficulties they are facing.

• You can e-mail a message of thanks to amandaldrake@gmail.com and we will print that message and send it to our military families in need this Christmas.  You can also e-mail a message of thanks for the troops and we will include it in the holiday care packages to deployed service men and women.

• Letters and cards can be mailed to us to be included in the gifts.  Children can also write notes, draw pictures, etc.

Gifts, gift cards and letters can be sent to:
