Next monthly meeting May 18, 2026- 7 pm ** Troops packing April 28th - CANCELED
We have made the very difficult decision to cancel the April 28th packing. Several boxes from last month's shipment were returned. If you watch the news, you know thousands of soldiers are being moved. Many of these locations are unable to currently receive mail. To be good stewards of the donations we receive, we cannot justify the cost of shipping until troop movements settle down.
We are still accepting donations along with names and addresses of active military personnel - no matter where they are serving. Thank you for your continued support.


Troops packings are held at Post 52, 13216 Dunham Road, Meadville, PA 5:30 pm. Donations of items and money for postage expenses accepted year round. We are very grateful for the community support that enables monthly boxes to be sent to soldiers serving around the globe.

If you know someone serving, simply send us an email with the name and mailing address (date of return - if known) and they will receive packages.

If you know someone serving, simply email us their name and address and we will send them a monthly care package. Support our military by letting them know we appreciate their service.
At this time we are not accepting any liquids. The packages go through extreme heat/cold to reach their destination which will cause any liquid to expand or freeze 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.
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.

Post 52 sends packages to active military personnel monthly. Donations of items to send and monies for postage greatly needed and appreciated. We accept the names and addresses of all military - stateside and deployed. Simply send us an email with soldier's name and address.
USPS does not permit shipping of batteries, liquid hand sanitizer or anything aerosol. If we receive those items they are donated to a local nonprofit.
Please no Ramen noodles
