Support Our Troops

February 11, 2025 we will be packing both snack items and personal hygiene items for 100 military pe

At this time we are not accepting any liquids. The packages go through extreme heat to reach their destination which will cause any liquid to expand and make a mess in the package. While we are experiencing cooler temperatures in NW PA - other parts of the world are still quite warm.

Beef jerky, powdered drink mix (such as Propel) Trail mix, hand/body lotions and sunscreen are the most needed items for the January boxes. See below for other items being accepted. NO sample/hotel sizes please. NO Ramen Noodles.

Items such as sunscreen, hand lotions, eye drops and bug repellent are constantly needed. Bug repellent and sunscreen should either be lotion (wipes) or pump spray. NO AEROSOL for any product. The post office does not permit shipping of aerosol cans, so any aerosol items will be donated to a local charity.

Healthy snack items are very popular and the items below are all being accepted. Thank you for your support.

Please refer to the list below to see what other items are needed.
