ABC News in the Dallas area (WFAA) came out and filmed a feature video on our January 2011 Valentine-themed packing party. Thank you ABC. We packed 280 boxes that were mailed (3.5 hours at the post office) to 5 platoons with a total postage cost of over $4,000. An additional 70 boxes were shipped the prior week. All care packages were shipped to American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq.
How can you help send care packages to the soldiers?
1) Donate Financially - Our greatest need is usually cash to pay for the mailing costs of care packages, and also to buy items for our soldiers. We are registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) charity, so your qualifying gifts are tax deductible.
We can accept checks made payable to Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas, P.O. Box 116691, Carrollton, Texas 75011 USA.
Or you can donate to our account via credit card:
2) Donate Goods - Many companies and civic groups host their own collection drives and fundraising events in cooperation with our efforts. Individuals and companies also donate goods for our soldiers. Because our goods are warehoused in our homes and in various donated office and warehouse spaces in the Dallas, Texas area, we kindly request that you contact us before sending any goods.
