Many families in deployment are struggling to make ends meet. So gift cards are wonderful because they help provide groceries, clothing and countless other things needed on a day-to-day basis.
Some examples deployment families use most often:
Wal-mart
Target
K-Mart
TJ Max
Walgreens
Sears
JC Penny
Babies R Us
Fun restaurants give the families a chance to get out of the house and have a break from the everyday stress of deployment:
McDonald's
Burger King
Pizza Hut
Subway
KFC
Denny's
Ihop
Dairy Queen
Baskin Robbins
Bob Evans
Gas cards are also extremely helpful for families of deployed troops.
