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.

Help sponsor the shipping costs for Girl Scout Cookies

We expect to receive around 15,000 Girl Scout Cookies boxes in March, 2012. We would be grateful to anyone who can donate funds to help us with the estimated $15,000+ shipping costs to mail these cookies overseas to Afghanistan. Here's a link to on how you can help. Thanks.

November updates

It's been a busy November. Thanks to everyone who donated or volunteered their time to help get our Christmas care packages mailed to our soldiers overseas.

On November 14, we shipped 106 cartons to three of the smaller units we are supporting. This shipment contained 750 large Christmas stockings, some of our 8,500 mini stockings, black knit beanie caps and assorted other items. Postage was slightly over $2,000.

On November 16, we held our larger packing party, and packed 215 boxes of snacks, toiletries, socks and many other donated items. The boxes were mailed on November 17 at a cost of about $3,500. The care packages were sent to five different units overseas.

On November 17, Covidien, an international healthcare products company, held a national conference in Dallas and packed about 100 cartons of donated items (and donated the funds for postage) for Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas to send to soldiers overseas. Thank you Covidien for your generosity.

We will continue to send smaller shipments in December, and are preparing for our next big packing party in January, 2012.
