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: Online donation system by ClickandPledge
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.

Two recent msgs from Afghanistan

Below are two messages we recently received from American soldiers in Afghanistan. Our volunteers have already sent rice and other items to the Battalion Chaplain, and additional shipments will be made.

I have a special request from a local school teacher.  He tells me that some of his Afghan students have to choose between school and work because they have no money and little food.  His request is to give them
rice so they can eat more and healthier.  Many days all they eat is bread and an onion.

I have helped these children with shoes and some warm clothing for the winter, but now they are in need of the rice.

If you are so inclined I humbly present this request for help.
Giving them food helps win this war by showing a sharp contrast between Americans and Taliban - who threaten and intimidate and take from them.

Thank you for listening.
