Help the Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan Care Package Project from Marine Parents .com, Inc.

Thank You From Marines:

“Thank you very much for the care package; I greatly appreciate it. It arrived in good condition, and none of the contents leaked. I wrote the name of a friend of mine on the back of this who doesn’t get much mail. I know he’d love to get a package. Thank you again for all your hard work and for caring about us.”
Thank you received August 2009

"We don't have much out here so to receive a package, especially from someone who doesn't know me, is really special. There is one Marine I know that doesn't get much. If you have the resources, please send him something even in place of mine."
PFC Jack, 2d LAR Btn

Help the troops overseas! We currently ship over 1000 care packages five times a year to Marines stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our database grows daily as Marines send us names of comrades who are not receiving mail or care packages from home. You can help get care packages of needed items to these Marines!

Want to ship care packages to the troops but can't find an address? So do we! We developed a safe and secure way to support our troops with care packages that you can participate in directly.

The Care Package Project™ ships care packages only to addresses which have been supplied by Marines or family members of combat deployed Marines. We do not and can not share those overseas mailing addresses with any third party, but WE'LL SHIP THE PACKAGES TO THE TROOPS for you! You can be involved by writing letters, holding care package drives and fundraisers, sponsoring a care package, or making a donation.

The Department of Defense (DoD) continues to emphasize that names and addresses of military service members must not be distributed by the media, Web sites, companies, non-profit organizations, schools and individuals for the purpose of collecting letters of support or donations for mailing to service members. The DoD does not support adopt-a-soldier programs.
